The biggest event of early technology, CES 2016 in Las Vegas that takes place 6-9 January gave rise to a series of launches of devices funny, strange or think about the future, besides products improving existing market categories.

Due to reasons outside of my control, I can't use my Countertop Electric Stove to cook my eggs in the morning anymore. Microwaved eggs are absolutely out of the question for me, so I decided to pick this handy little hot plate up. I was a bit skeptical, but this thing has been very impressive for me so far. It heats up quickly, and the temperature automatically turns on and off to stay at a steady temperature - meaning I don't have to worry about my eggs burning. Exactly what I needed during the morning chaos while I'm trying to get my breakfast in while hustling to get ready for work. Clean up is very easy, and the controls are extremely simple, which is exactly what is needed. Simple on and off switch, and the 2nd knob adjusts temperature. No need for presets or other buttons or lights. The simpler, the better. One thing to keep in mind, however, is that the whole entire unit gets hot. It takes about ~20-30 minutes to cool down to a safe temperature, so you will want to be sure that you put it in an area where it's away from any pet cats or children while it is in the cooldown period. Since the whole thing gets hot, it will be a bit too hot to move to a different location, even with oven mitts. Not a big deal, but it is something to be aware of the first time you use it.
