This one is cast iron, and the element is fully embedded in the plate. It heats up fast, about 100F/min (~ 1C/S), and has a lot of "keep going" when you turn the power off. > Get the cheapest hotplate that has a continuous, thick joint between > the element and the plate, I'm pretty sure that's what I did. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
