Bill is right, although my mother still called them burners.

We call them Hot Plates

Hi! I call them burners. "Watch out, the oven is on and the burners are hot!"

Hello Mikkel, Interesting question! Australian English = hotplate ( I live in the UK and interestingly British people also use this word, but when they use it, they are usually speaking about a hotplate that you can move very easily). Hope that helps! Best Regards, Edwina https://www.italki.com/edwinateacher

I'm a US native speaker. I would describe it this way: "This is an electric stove with four burners. The part of the burner that gets hot is the heating element. The stove is designed so that you can remove the heating element easily to clean underneath it." A brand name for a common kind of heating element is "Calrod" and I have sometimes heard heating elements referred to as "calrods." To me, a "hotplate" is a small portable electric device with either one or two burners. For example, "Because of safety issues, hotplates are strictly forbidden in the student dormitory."
