Amazon.com: Books: My Kitchen Wars (#)

„Betty Fussell is truly a veteran of numerous "Kitchen Wars" in this well-told, fond yet sharp memoir. From the most modest hot plate and the blandest diet of her Presbyterian upbringing to the kitchen of her mature years so grand it was profiled in the New York Times and capable of producing feasts a la Julia Child, she has always been in the thick of it. Food is an analog to sex and sometimes a substitute for sex. And certainly a substitute for career, as the last generation of housewives found, to their dismay; so they took to the burners, the whisks, the ramekins, the all-but-unpronounceable French casserole dishes to vent their competitive fervor and produced dinner parties of orgiastic splendor, consummately detailed here.“

Amazon.com: Books: ALWAYS OUTNUMBERED, ALWAYS OUTGUNNED (#)

„In this cycle of 14 bittersweet stories, Walter Mosley breaks out of the genre--if not the setting--of his bestselling Easy Rawlins detective novels. Only eight years after serving out a prison sentence for murder, Socrates Fortlow lives in a tiny, two-room Watts apartment, where he cooks on a hot plate, scavenges for bottles, drinks, and wrestles with his demons. Struggling to control a seemingly boundless rage--as well as the power of his massive "rock-breaking" hands--Socrates must find a way to live an honorable life as a black man on the margins of a white world, a task which takes every ounce of self-control he has. Easy Rawlins fans might initially find themselves disappointed by the absence of a mystery to unravel.“

BBC - h2g2 - Ways to Make Good Coffee (#)

„Many machines have a hot plate to keep the coffee hot.Filter coffee can be somewhat lacking in flavour because the filter paper takes the flavour out. There's also a temptation to leave a pot of coffee sitting on the hot plate to keep it hot. This destroys the flavour. At most you should keep your coffee hot in this manner for just five minutes.Should your electric machine ever break down (or should you find yourself just looking to try something new and exciting), why not just set the filter holder on top of a conventional jug, like a Thermos?“

Tea & Coffee 07/04 - Pack, Wrap, Seal and Sell: Staying Current with Packaging Trends (#)

„Although the bottles are non-microwavable, ITO EN provides a heating/chilling product display unit nicknamed the “Hot-N-Cooler” to retailers for selling the Hot/Cold TEAS’ TEA line. The unit has a hot plate that is designed to safely heat the bottles to approximately 140º F, being both comfortably warm to the touch and ready for drinking. During the warm season, the hot plate can be switched off and the entire unit can be utilized for chilling. That way, TEAS’ TEA can be both cool and hot, depending on the season.“

„Buy a new seal while you are at it, any Bialetti sales depot will have the correct size ( 6 cups). If you want to replace those screws, go for stainless, they are NOT metric, the size is 1/8 with 40 threads to the inch.Purchase some natural food grade citric acid at a health food store and pour 1 spoonful down the ATOMIC, then fill with water (hot or cold, doesn't matter here, never use hot water to prepare your daily dose though), put on hot plate. The citric acid will dissolve the scales. In the meantime, scrub that top plate.“

CoffeeGeek - Technivorm Clubline - All - James McNab's Review (#)

„ I ignored this part of the manual because when you turn the machine on to brew the coffee, the hot plate is also turned on to a lower setting.  There is an optional switch that may also be turned on once the machine is brewing that heats the hot plate up to full capacity.  I was originally contemplating the thermal carafe model of the Clubline but was led to this model by Cheryl at Boyd's.  She mentioned that the thermal carafe with the Clubline isn't anywhere near as good as some of the thermal carafes on the market today.“

„Color was added because it is more economical than having Flavio and Augustino polish the body of the ATOMIC by hand. If you ever leave your ATOMIC dry up on a hot plate, which you must never do, with any type of cooking apparatus... you will have the pain to notice that another color has crept up from the bottom: a lovely dull shade of deep kaki/beige/UPS brownish tone, something reminiscent of what poodles leave behind. The color coating scratches easily so handle that jug carefully.“

When cooking is complete and the plate has cooled down, the burner lifts up and the chrome pan wipes out with a soapy cloth. This product is covered by a limited one-year warranty.“

After the first 10 minutes, increase the heat to medium before beginning to cook the other ingredients. If you are struggling for space, completely cook the sausages and keep hot on a plate in the oven.“

„Of course we all know that leaving the brew on a hot plate is the kiss of death to your flavor.  So if you plan to use the CD, also plan on pouring the brew into a glass lined thermal carafe right after it’s done brewing.  The “two stage” temperature feature on the hot plate control isn’t really that big a difference and IMO not useful (more in the Details section).“

CoffeeKid - The Vacuum Brewer FAQ (#)

„Sunbeam and Cory models used internal heating elements tied in with heat sensitive coils for knowing when to reduce or shut off the electricity for their automated functions. Earlier Sunbeam models used a flat hot plate, as did some commercial Cory units. Silex models shipped with purpose built electrical coil stoves that served a dual purpose - as a stand for the vac pot, and as the heat source.“
