Check the resistance foir a 100watt bulb if my conceptual thinking is
correct the element's resitance s/b about 15 to 20 times higher. Or
you could compare it to the broiler element.

Nitpicking, but the resistance of the oven element should be quite a bit lower
than a 100W bulb. Power is V^2/R, and you want your kitchen oven to be cooking
things a bit faster than an Easy Bake.

100 ohms, very roughly (they're usually either "reasonable" or "infinite"...not
much in between).
