Cadco makes real appliances that anyone who cooks can appreciate. In the end I decided to return this Cadco model and went for the larger 220volt cooktop as I want to also use it for large stockpots, at least 16 quart. These are professionals quality items, so they'll cost more but worth it in my opinion. **Q: will this work on a USA 110 three prong electric outlet?** A: Yes, it will. I have used this type of hot plate for many years. **Q: Is there a maximum temp cutoff switch?** A: the knob is the only way to control the temperature. Low and high. No other switch. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cadco KR-S2 11-1/2" Electric Portable Countertop Hot Plate, (1) Cast Iron Burner for Restaurant Hotel Food Truck Concession Kiosk, Stainless Steel, 120v - LOVE MOMENT Electric Mason Jar Vacuum Sealer Kit for Wide Mouth and Regular Mouth Mason Jars - Cookwise Mason jar opener no lid dents or damage multi-purpose easy twist manual handheld top remover utensil made for lifetime --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/3670414-kr-s2-portable-electric-hot-plate-1500w-cast-iron-single](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/3670414-kr-s2-portable-electric-hot-plate-1500w-cast-iron-single) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-04*
