We have mostly IKA RCT Basic models, which are on the cheap end for a decent lab heater-stirrer, but still talking £hundreds here - they're not terribly quick and I wouldn't call them impressively consistent either, even with a probe, they're quite slow to click on and off to maintain temperature, just like a domestic hob.

Trying to keep it compact as well as a smaller power drain, so both the IKA and induction unit are out, unless there is a tiny one out there somewhere.
I can't imagine a solid alu top like this one would vary as much as our coil top currently does!https://www.thermofisher.com/order/catalog/product/HP2305BQ
Thanks for putting thought into this.

Another question; some hot plate manufacturers say that only glass containers should be placed on their (aluminum) products for fear of damage or electrical shorts. Can you tell me more?

Can't have an open flame for some reasons... wife with asthma, CO.
Not concerned about turning down the heat at the correct time and rate. I'm basically looking for a heat source that is more consistent than my coil-top range and uses less power to do the job.
