Hot Plate

[gimling]

Does anyone know where i can get a hot plate at a LOCAL store? i have tried, walmart,homedepot, bedbathbeyond,target, homedepot,walgreens with no luck.

just did a search of walmart online "hotplate" and found a bunch. they list a pile of stuff online that is not sold in stores. i buy that way all the time. have it shipped for free to your local store. they e mail when it arrives.

Hard to recommend a LOCAL store when you don't state your location...just sayin. Kartooo has it right, order online with ship to store and pick it up locally.

Walmart in the cookware section didn't have one?? That's really surprising!!

Just saw an average one at the local Walgreens for 14.99.

Just picked one up at our Walmart last night, they had double and single burners in stock.

I was unable to find one in any WalMart, so my wife gave me the one from her office and bought a double element one from the local grocery.

Got mine at Walgreens.
About $15

I haunt Goodwill and YMCA thrift shops.

Lowes had them.

try your local mom and pop hardware store. Can't be corporate, has to be mom and pop. I bet you'll have luck for $20

When I bought mine at walmart, they were approximately $11.+ tax. Two weeks later they were out and I haven't seen one since. If it doesn't move fast enough, they don't restock.

Goodwill, $1.68 for a perfectly good one in their "disposal" store where you "dumpster dive" through their bins for $2.50/lb for anything you want. I couldn't find one in a traditional store for less than $15.

[H.Callahan]

Bought mine at Walgreens for ~$11. I had to try several of them before I found one that had them in stock, so it might be worth making a few calls.

Of course, several days after I bought it, I found one for $2 at a Goodwill type store. [smilie=b:

Amazon - Prime works - 2 days to my door.

Bog Lots tends to carry them in the summer - around "sending kids off to college time" (even though every college known to man forbids them in dorm rooms.)

I looked for one at several Wla-Marts when I needed one and they didn't have one. I found a NICE double burner at a thrift store. This one has spoiled me....lol

I bought mine in Fred Meyer, 14.99, and discount for Senior Citizens on Tuesdays. $13.49.

[a.squibload]

Harbor Freight $10, Walgreens, etc.

[Sasquatch-1]

As said WalMart has them online. Only thing I would add is shipping (to your door) is usually low enough that it doesn't pay to have it shipped to the store.

I spent $500. worth of my time looking for a $1. Hot Plate at thrift stores. I finally bought a $13 Walgreens Hot Plate for a total acquisition cost of $513.:killingpc

[Jack Stanley]

Wow!!! Mal Paso you really invested in that one didn't ya ?? I look for one in the second hand shops when I'm in the area . I keep hoping to find one that's not made in china , Mexico , etc.....
I guess you'd say I'm not looking real hard .

Ya cookin up a batch of waffles? I just set my molds on the top of the pot while it heating up and by the time the load is ready, the mold is pretty much there also!

But a hotplate is nice to have to cook up a grilled cheese while you are waiting. PbO2 makes an excellent condiment! HA.....ha.

I did find 30-40 Bread Machines at prices from cheap to free if someone can devise a casting use before the supply peaks.

I think Hot Plates are just too useful and used ones are rare around here.

[Cane_man]

dont know if it was mentioned, but a great tip i got from fiver is to get a small metal can and place it over the top of the mold when it is heating up on the hot plate and it creates sort of a small oven and greatly improves the mold preheat... any type of canned food type can works good, i think i used one for canned chicken chunks
