Description

MegaChef MC-2012A-B 1700W Dual Coil Burner Portable Cooktop

At a Glance

  • Two real burners: a pair of 5.5 in electric coil elements delivering 1700W of total cooking power.
  • Independent control: each burner gets its own adjustable thermostat knob and its own power indicator light.
  • Plug-in simple: runs on a standard 120V household outlet, so any room with power becomes a kitchen.
  • Genuinely portable: 7 lbs and a slim 18 x 9.5 x 2 in profile that slides into a cabinet or suitcase.
  • Matte black steel body: painted steel housing that wipes clean and looks sharp on a buffet line.

One burner is a compromise. The MegaChef MC-2012A-B gives you two, each with its own thermostat, so the sauce simmers while the pasta boils. At 7 pounds with a cord that reaches any standard outlet, it turns dorms, RVs, offices, rental kitchens, and holiday overflow counters into fully working two-burner stations.

Key Features

  • 1700W total output: serious heat for boiling, frying, searing, and simmering across two pans at once.
  • Dual adjustable thermostats: set each 5.5 in coil to its own temperature, from a bare warm hold to a hard boil.
  • Works with the pans you own: electric coil heating takes any flat-bottom aluminum, stainless steel, or ceramic cookware. No magnetic-pan shopping trip required.
  • Dual indicator lights: a glowing lamp per burner tells you at a distance which side is live.
  • Low 2-inch profile: sits close to the counter for stable pots and easy stirring, then stores flat.
  • 7 lb grab-and-go build: light enough to carry one-handed to the buffet table, tailgate, or camper.
  • Wipe-clean steel housing: the matte black painted body cleans up with a damp cloth once the unit cools.

Before You Buy

  • This is an electric coil cooktop, NOT induction: the coils themselves get hot, which is exactly why it heats any flat-bottom metal or ceramic pan without special cookware.
  • Flat, smooth-bottom cookware only: keep glass cookware and rough- or ridge-bottomed pots off the coils. Flat aluminum, stainless, or ceramic pans make full contact and heat evenly.
  • Coils stay hot after cooking: give the unit about 20 minutes to cool down before wiping it or putting it away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an induction cooktop?
No, and that is the advantage for most kitchens. These are electric coil burners, so any flat-bottom metal or ceramic pan works. There is no magnetic cookware requirement.

Can I run both burners at different temperatures?
Yes. Each burner has its own thermostat knob and its own indicator light, so you can hold a low simmer on one side while the other runs at full heat.

What pans should I use?
Flat, smooth-bottom aluminum, stainless steel, or ceramic cookware. Keep glass cookware and rough-bottom pots off the coils; full flat contact is what gives you fast, even heating.

Does it need a special outlet?
No. The MC-2012A-B plugs into a standard 120V household outlet, which is what makes it so useful in dorms, RVs, offices, and buffet setups.

Care & Use

Set the cooktop on a flat, heat-safe surface with clearance around it and plug directly into a 120V outlet. Center flat-bottom pans on the coils and match the pan size to the 5.5 in elements for the most even heat. After cooking, switch both knobs off, unplug, and allow about 20 minutes of cool-down before touching the coils. Wipe the cooled body and elements with a damp cloth; never immerse the unit in water.

Two burners, zero kitchen required

Stop cooking in shifts

One burner means the sauce goes cold while the pasta boils. Two 5.5-inch coils with separate thermostats let both dishes run at once, each at exactly the heat it needs.

Use the pans you already own

Induction burners send you shopping for magnetic cookware before you can boil water. These electric coils heat any flat-bottom aluminum, stainless, or ceramic pan straight out of your cabinet.

A kitchen that travels

Renovations, dorm moves, camper trips, and buffet lines all strand you without a stove. At 7 pounds and 2 inches tall, this cooktop packs flat and cooks wherever an outlet lives.

How it stacks up

Against the single-burner hot plate

A lone hot plate forces every meal into one pan and one temperature. This cooktop runs two coils with separate thermostats, so a simmer and a boil happen side by side.

Against the portable induction burner

Induction demands magnetic flat-bottom cookware and rejects half your cabinet. Electric coils heat any flat-bottom aluminum, stainless, or ceramic pan, with mechanical knobs instead of fussy touch panels.

Against the full-size range

A range is bolted to one room. This 7-pound, 2-inch-tall cooktop brings two real burners to the buffet table, the camper, or the renovation-stranded kitchen for far less.

Is this an induction cooktop?

No, and that is the advantage for most kitchens. These are electric coil burners, so any flat-bottom metal or ceramic pan works. There is no magnetic cookware requirement.

Can I run both burners at different temperatures?

Yes. Each burner has its own thermostat knob and its own indicator light, so you can hold a low simmer on one side while the other runs at full heat.

What pans should I use?

Flat, smooth-bottom aluminum, stainless steel, or ceramic cookware. Keep glass cookware and rough-bottom pots off the coils; full flat contact is what gives you fast, even heating.

Does it need a special outlet?

No. The MC-2012A-B plugs into a standard 120V household outlet, which is what makes it so useful in dorms, RVs, offices, and buffet setups.

How fast will it ship and can I return it?

Orders ship to the 48 contiguous states and process within 2 business days. If it is not right, you have 30 days from delivery to return unused items in the original packaging.
