Can you cook French fries with this?

This is a single burner heating device. You can place almost any size pot or frying pan on it & will get good results. Therefore, if you place a frying pan on it, put cooking oil in it, & place the raw french fries in the pan, selecting medium to high heat (has temperature dial), you should get excellent french fries. You may want to cover the pan to prevent the smoke from filling the room.

What is the diameter of the heating coil, and can you unplug the coil completely to clean the dish underneath?

I’m not home at the moment but the size is similar to the smallest element on an electric stove. No- you CANNOT unplug the coil to clean underneath. It does lift a bit to clean under

Can you use a heat diffuser for cooking with clay pots on this

Personally, I have never used a heat diffuser, but I don’t see why you couldn’t use one on this electric burner.

Bad transformer, did not work properly

Didn’t get chance to use the burner because the 110/220v transformer that came with it did not work properly. Had to return everything.

Great single burner when you’re in need of a stove top!

I needed something to cook on while my kitchen was getting a makeover so I bought this single electric stove burner and it worked great. It definitely gets hot and I had no issues with cooking on it. I always made sure to unplug it after I was done using it and I made sure there was nothing that was flammable near it.
