Aluminum Stovetop Heat Dispersing Plate ?
.... or whatever the F the right name is (I knew it yesterday ! ) . The wife's cast iron skillet recommends a heat spreader thingy to go between the element/glass top and the skillet , and the copper ones are priced ridiculously . I'm off to scrounge a 1/4" Cu plate today , but thought "well, I already have some aluminum..." . So the obvious question is : is this safe ?. I know the element itself gets hot enough to melt Al , but what about the glass top ?. Also , does Al put off toxic fumes when it's hot ?. What do the big giant heads say? ... Thanks , Dar http://www.sheltech.net metal work http://www.soundclick.com/darshelton (free mp3's) |
