Does both the top and the bottom heat? ....or just the bottom?

Both the top and bottom heat, so you are baking quickly from two sides. I use the pressure handle for about 5 seconds to shape my bread, then lay it back and close both sides of the baker, checking every few seconds, so that I am sure my bread is baked all the way through - no raw dough. If you go longer than 5 seconds, or wait for the noise of the air escaping the dough to quit, your bread round is likely to be exploded - literally (not violently, obviously). Just takes a little practice. I love mine!

It does not get hot on the sides. slightly warm at the top on the sides. The very top does get a little hot but not hot enough to burn.

yes it does have a bottom, but it is not a solid bottom. so you need to use a pot.

The bottom of the unit does not get hot at all. I used it last week on my composite desk. I have fire service experience and won't use it if I felt there was an issue.

NO! The unit does not get hot on the bottom. When cooking u can put a paper towel between the pan and top and fry chicken and the paper will not burn. It does tend to heat in a small ring in the pan. That with a good pan has not been problem. I cook sausage and eggs at the same time on #5 heat level. We like it so we'll I bought a spare. We have glass top cook top stove and it heats up the kitchen and stays hot for long periods. This cook top does not get warm on the bottom. It has a fan that controls component heat and turns off automatically. If u look up magnetic cooking it compares to gas cooking in cost and super efficiency. When u remove the cooking pan u can put your hand on the top. The bottom is even cooler. Top product.

The bottom does not get hot. I have mine on a hardwood floor also. We are very happy with this stove. It heats our living quickly and we have 18 foot ceilings.

No, the bottom always rotates. But it would heat a single slice pretty fast, even rotating.

top, sides and back do not get hot in my experience. however, I never put it too close to anything and allow normal ventilation.

Hi, it SORT of heats the water. The top 6 inches seem to be pretty warm! All in all, we continue to use it and would recommend it, but we realize that it won't fully heat our pool.

That means that the mattress is silly in half so that the left side and right side each can control the heat setting for that side. There's a control for the right side and a control for the left side. It does not have anything to do with the top or bottom.

The sides and bottom do not get hot. Only the silver on the top warms with the toast or whatever. I hope this helps.

Yes you can, it doesn't get hot enough, the heat radiates from the bottom and it is just a nice warm heat, not hot.

no just the one side. However you can feel the heat from the front. But it only heats up in front. thanks.

I suspect the inclusion of the disk is the only difference. It seems wise to not use the disk anyway, because it has to get hotter than a pan bottom to pass the same amount of heating energy into a pan, being non-direct heating.

The bottoms do t get hot but the tops do. Putting that aside it is the best cooking cookware I have used. I love it

It looks like both. The sides and top are made of plastic and the bottom is the heating element and it's metal.

This model has both top & bottom. There is a model that has just the bottom unit available. Not sure if Amazon carries or not.
