    Hi Marguerite - Sorry to be slow in responding here.  I was busy
    getting ready for an event and the computer fell by the wayside!  :) 
    I also use the good old Toastmaster flat coil type of hotplate that
    go on sale sometimes.  They are really cheap.  I'd love to get a hold
    of one like Debra's - the chemist's one. 

    The hotplate Komelia mentioned as having a problem was a really old
    fashioned one.  I think the coils are actually coils of wire that
    are then shaped in the current hotplate design.  I have a vague
    memory of what she was describing - it is different than the current
    ones available - so, your's is fine, I'm sure.  Just thought, I'd
    better pass on the caution - in case someone is picking one up at a
    garage sale or ebay or has one in their attic. 

    By short, I think she meant that there will be a reaction to the
    steel tool touching the burner and causing the machine to croak. 
    (Not a very scientific description!)  Anyhow, sorry to make you
    nervous - I'm sure your's is fine. 

Aloha,
Cynthia
