A vigilant list member who prefers to be nameless points out that there's a mistake in this:
<snip> >Re heating elements, Matt Pozzi gave us this useful number a while back: > >"... make a rough extimate of the elements area of contact with the >oil (length*pi*radius squared) and make sure the output will be >around or less than 3W/sq cm, this will ensure no burning of the oil >whilst heating. Elsewise you will need to stir while heating." <snip> (length*pi*radius squared) will give you the volume of the heating element, not the surface area - that should be length*pi*2*radius, or length*pi*diameter. I didn't notice that, but when I figured it out for our element I did it right anyway, surface area, not volume - sorry about that, and thanks again to Mr Nameless.
