Below are 10 Safety Tips to keep in mind when using a hot plate:

1. When heating material in a bath, make sure the glassware’s heat resistant. Also, you should inspect the glassware for cracks visible to the naked eye. Never place a glass flask, soft glass, or jars directly on a hot plate, and make sure the surface of the hot plate is larger than the object being heated.

2. When you are bringing liquids to a boil, adding boiling stones will help facilitate the process.

3. Be careful when condensing the material in a vessel until it’s completely dry. If there is too little moisture and the vessel remains exposed to heat, it will eventually crack.

4. For liquids, including water, it’s a good idea to use either the medium or medium high setting. Low boiling liquids should not be heated at the high setting, which can produce surface temperatures as high as 540 C (1004 F).

5. It’s advisable not to heat a metal pan on a hot plate, which can damage the hot plate and maybe even pose a shock risk.

6. When removing objects from a hot plate, use tongs or rubber coated, heat resistant gripping devices. The same holds when true when pouring hot liquids.

7. Do not store volatile or flammable materials in the vicinity of a hot plate.

8. Limit the use of older hot plates for flammable materials.

9. Check for corrosion of thermostats, which can create a spark hazard.

10. Perhaps the most important thing of all is to remember to turn the hot plate off. Hot plates that have been left on are the source of most hot plate related injuries.
So when I'm not using it I should turn it off? OK. What if I am using it? Does this mention "overnight" because I'm not seeing it.

That's a very valid question! There are a few answers from within Judaism. One is that we don't rely on miracles. They didn't have the technology available to them properly installed. That's what makes this tragic. Of course, they probably didn't have an escape plan either. They didn't know if the alarms would have been loud enough to wake anyone.

We can therefore blame religion for Electrical fire ignited Christmas tree in Annapolis mansion blaze that killed 6 | WJLA.com

Electrical fire kills 3 in downtown Dallas building | Video | 11alive.com

etc.

I think their God should have woke them up.

So ONLY Jews leave hot plates on?

There is a difference between a hot plate being left on by accident.

AND

A hot plate left on to follow regional orthodox religious laws.


Im going to claim that YOUR religious fanaticism as defined, is keeping you from being able to tell the difference between these two answers.


All you had to say was this was a tragedy, and if orthodox Jews want a hot meal in freezing temperatures so their family is comfortable, they should be able to have freedom to use electricity.

I don't know why complicating the issue.

The hot plate was on the whole knight and it was left there due to ancient religious beliefs then obviously the one to be blamed is Obama.
I didn't think I would ever find a reason to give a post you make a like. But there you go. Proven wrong.

I'm going to claim that this position you espouse is because your scientific fanaticism is keeping you from seeing the logical errors in your claims. All you have to say is that religion causes death. If people use electricity and it kills them, maybe it isn't because of religion.

Aren't claims fun?

YOU did not answer the questions, why?

If the mother was not orthodox Jewish.

Would her 7 children still be alive?


That hot plate would not have been turned on ALL NIGHT would it?

I did answer it. I said "It might be" because other people have been known to leave it on. Unless you can show me otherwise.

Why is it that an obvious accident that dealt with a failed piece of electrical equipment to be blamed as being a by-product of "Jewish fanaticism"? Accidents do happen, so are we to blame all similar accidents on religion? If on my way to synagogue, my car catches fire, is that also "Jewish fanaticism"? How about if a devout Catholic chokes on a wafer ("body of Christ"), is that "Catholic fanaticism"? Is there any such thing as "Atheist fanaticism"? "Agnostic fanaticism"? Should we blame all accidents on "[Whatever] fanaticism"?

Why is it that if a person tries to exercise their religious beliefs without any attempt at hurting anyone, but something goes wrong, "... fanaticism"?

Rosends has been making this same argument for about 3 pages now.

Because the only reason the plate was left on in such a dangerous manner, was to get around religious laws and regional customs, that are not socially normal.

YOU could answer the questions, yes or no.

Fanaticism does blind people. No one has answered the questions yet.

YOU could just answer the questions, yes or no.

If the mother was not orthodox Jewish.

Would her 7 children still be alive?

Yes fanaticism does blind people. This question was answered for you numerous times by more than one poster. Not all of whom are Orthodox.

Thank you for taking the time to post here on RF
