 Fabulous German Portable Stove!!Sep 09, 2007
By G. Green
"Trumpit"
I love this stove. This stove cleans easily, & heats & boils fast. Also, it cools down pretty fast. There are two heating zones, one for small diameter pots and a larger area for big pans, etc. This range is light weight thus easily portable. Easy to use, yet incorporates the latest modern technology. Comes with two year manufacturer's warranty. I know it's expensive, but it's so nice looking...

 PHR Glass Ceramic Range by BroilKingSep 01, 2007
By Q. Wagner
Apparently I now need a new thermostadt control for my PHR-1. However, Broilking won't sell me the part. They only sell to distributors. They gave me the number to a distributor who I called (1-800-243-1290) but the distributor said they don't sell to the end user. Lovely. I then called back BroilKing and they were so suprised I couldn't buy the part I needed from ICS. Now I am some kind of unreasonable customer because I actually need a part for my portable cooktop. How terrible of me to need a replacement part. They said I can ship it back to them, but my warranty is finished. And it would cost me around $80 out of pocket to do this. Now, I am looking on the Internet to find this part. However, that is quite impossible since BroilKing has a name very similar to a BBQ company called Broil King. So, all I get is BBQ parts. I can buy a new stove for the price this will cost me to fix. I am refused parts by the manufacturer. I then looked into a Cadco cooktop, however, they are a BroilKing company (or vice versa). I will never buy from them again since I cannot get parts. Is this thing made in China??? They have the part I need and I'm sure it cost them around $2 for the part (or less). Enough said.
Best Popcorn Cooker in the WorldDec 16, 2011
By WinstonLamber
Bought for TV room and accidentally learned secret for best Popcorn that PHR-1 does automatically. We'd built dream home with Granite counters and built in Microware/Convection Oven in TV room; we thought we could do without a stovetop by TV, but Microwave Popcorn is 3rd rate, so I regretted not having at least one burner, so while considering having granite craftsman cut hole in counter, I found PHR-1.
It is beautiful. The Stainless steel is thick and solid. The glass looks like custom stove. I didn't know it was made in Germany until tonight (after 7 years), but why am I not surprised; it is like the Mercedes or BMW of Stove tops.
Love the simplicity, PHR-1 just has one dial; it goes from 0 to 1000 watts and then jumps to 1500 watts. I tried to cook popcorn at 1500 watts but corn was chewy and while waiting for last kernels to pop the first ones would burn. I tried to cook at 1000 watts and Corn would start to pop, but poop out and first ones would burn and I'd have bowl of kernels.
So by accident, I learned to put in oil and popcorn, turn it to 1000 watts and let PHR-1 warm corn up, then when they start to pop, crank PHR-1 to Full Blast. I am trying to teach relatives this trick, but how do you explain 1000 watts and 1500 watts on a gas stove on the phone?
I have never cooked anything but popcorn on PHR-1 for 7 years, but it is one of my favorite things. It may cost more than cheaper models from China, but it is built to last and looks great. If a stove can't hit 1500 it won't perfectly pop corn.
P.S. After the corn is popped microware it for 1 minute and it is extra crispy.

Expensive, yes. If you are serious about cooking and have the need for a portable range, this is the one. I have tried one of the cast iron units and it worked fine except it took forever to heat up and cool down, was a pain the you know what to clean, and stained the cast iron top the first time I used it. This model heats up and cools down the same as my home ceramic range and is a piece of cake to clean. Love how light weight it is and the dual heating function. Highly recommended.

 Not what I thought it wasJan 22, 2010
By Robert
Thought it was an induction cooktop. Now I realize why the one identical to it, except with digital controls, was so much more money - it was the induction cooktop. I didn't pay close enough attention which is my fault.
As to the cooktop: the bottom half is plastic. In the time it took a pan of water to boil, the sides and the bottom became hot to the touch and I am left wondering how well the bottom will hold up to the heat when cooking for more than a few minutes at a high heat level.
I do like very much that the elements turn off if the cookware is removed from the surface. It does seem well built other than the bottom cover.
I wouldn't have bought it had I paid close enough attention to notice it wasn't an induction cooktop. However, if you are looking for a radiant cooktop, this seems to be really good quality - other than the plastic bottom.
It isn't made in China! Says made in Germany on the bottom.
