Rival BD220 Double Spiral Buffet Range

Rival Dual Spiral Burner Buffet Range

This slim, white-enameled metal buffet range, featuring two independently-controlled spiral burners, is the equivalent of half a stove top. The obvious places it would come in handy are dorm rooms, cabins, campsites, and workplaces that have no kitchen. But even in a home with a full equipped kitchen, there are times when the stove is overloaded, and that's where this durable, clean-lined buffet range pitches in.

A soapy cloth or sponge will get the unplugged unit clean; the coils tilt up for easy access to the catch areas underneath. The coils can be wiped down, too, once they're cool. But use nylon scrubbies; harsh abrasives and steel wool will damage the protective coating.

To "cure" the burners, turn each one on for the first time to the maximum setting for four minutes with no pot or pan on it. This hardens the protective coating on the spiral burners. And don't be alarmed if the burners smoke the first time they are turned on. It will burn off in a few minutes and it is not a defect. The buffet range measures 20 by 10-1/4 by 4-1/2 inches, including legs, handles and knobs.
