Unless they want to kill somebody. Just asking for a law suit tbh.

Hehe, they wouldn't make them out of tin either, its scrap value is about 3x that of copper, which is about 4x that of lead!

Stainless steel pans recommended!

what would it be then?

Aluminium?

Just checked the bottom of one of my flatmates pans (My pans are marks n spencers quality

) Says something about Stainless Steel. The bottom of his pans are a coppery colour though. Gotta buy him a new one tomorrow

Oh dear i don't know how you managed that

His empty pan was on the hot plate which i turned onto full by accident. (I was trying to boil water in my pan to make coffee because our kettle is broke)

whats the melting point of silver?

but tbh, steels not gonna melt like that, I would say take it back, but theres nothing TO take back!

The pan is steel quite intact (read up). Using it again might be a bit risky, so i'll leave that to Will tomorrow, see if he wants a new pan or not

Afaik Aluminum has a melting point of ~600C. Thats would have to be one beast of a hot plate.

Looks to me like a sheet of foil was involved, either that or some burk had painted the pan.

Where abouts in Aber are you, my Brother is there?

Brynderw (Student Accomodation near the School of Art).

His pans are beastly things though, i think i did him a favour

Absolutely no idea I'm afraid.

That looks like a very poor application of arctic silver - your heat transfer will be rubbish

My day job is making sure that cookers reach the temperatures that they are supposed to and I use some elaborate equipment to do it. Hotplates can easily reach 600c where ovens go up to about 250c.

Possible then, depends on whether that cooker is capable of delivering the amount of heat energy to heat the pan up to 600C.

I think he's volt-modded that plate lol

VeNT · 18 Feb 2006 at 19:53
