A Pot Plate Electric Stove is a compact, portable electric cooking appliance designed to heat and cook food using a flat, electrically powered heating surface. It usually features one or two heating plates (also known as burners) that provide consistent heat for cooking various dishes. This stove is ideal for use in small kitchens, dorms, offices, or even for camping and outdoor cooking, where a full-sized stove might not be practical.
