Ditto. I actually take this with me to shows even with a stove, because I can set up my demo on a table where everyone can gather around. I've been making the creamy one pot pasta this month, and the little burner works great. One show this month was outside of the apartment building manager's office. We set up a table and neighbors brought lawn chairs. I then pass around the "buy me" piece while I'm cooking, so guests have it in their hands.
