The Chef's Choice cordless electric hot pot is perfect for offices, dorms, and other areas with limited space for food preparation. It's designed so you can quickly boil water for making tea, instant coffee, hot chocolate or instant soup. The cordless design on this Chef's Choice hot pot makes it easier and safer to pour hot water because there isn't a cord in your way. Also, the heating element inside won't corrode or develop mineral buildup because it's separated from the water.
