Our new caravan has three gas rings and one solid electric hot plate.

Great idea because you can use the bundled electricity you get with the
pitch for cooking.

Dumb implementation because the electric hot plate is below the level of
the pan supports so you have to drop the pan into a 20 cms * 24 cms space
which effectively means a 20 cms diameter pan.

Normal hobs you can use larger pans and they can overlap partly with the
rest of the hob.

Useful thing; something stable and heat conducting which would fit over
the solid electric hot plate and stand level with the pan support over the
gas hobs, allowing the use of larger pans.

It seems an obvious thing; I can't find one so either they don't make them
or I am using the wrong search terms.

One reason for the low slung electric hot plate may well be to keep it
away from the glass fold down lid. So a degree of risk when removing this
proposed device to fold everything away.

Anyway, ringing any bells?


How thick would it need to be? Maybe you could get a local engineering firm
to machine up a simple aluminium "puck" that you could lay on the hot plate
before use?
