Hot plate
Hot Plate
A Hot Plate (pronunciation: /hɒt pleɪt/) is a portable self-contained tabletop small appliance that features one, two or more electric heating elements or gas burners. A hot plate can be used as a stand-alone appliance, but is often used as a substitute for one of the burners from an oven range or a kitchen stove. Hot plates are often used for food preparation, generally in locations where a full kitchen stove would not be convenient or practical.
Etymology
The term "hot plate" is derived from the heating element it contains and the flat plate-like shape of the appliance. The word "hot" comes from the Old English hāt, from Proto-Germanic haitaz (hot), and the word "plate" comes from the Old French plate (flat piece), from the Latin plattus (flat, broad).
