Another fire safety resource for seniors

Picture this: A pot of water was kept boiling on a hot plate fitted with Safe-T-elements. A piece of ordinary paper placed on the element and under the pot of water was slightly scorched after several hours, but was not burned.

A Safe-T-element TM had replaced the regular element on the stovetop. It is more energy-efficient than a regular burner because it allows more even warming at a lower temperature. It actually prevents stovetop fires because it automatically shuts the stove off when temperatures reach a maximum of 350 C or 662 F. (Oil ignites at 370 C or 698 F.)

The patented Safe-T-element® cooking system was engineered to help prevent stove top cooking fires, the number one cause of fire in North America, and to reduce the amount of electricity required to cook. The Safe-T-element® cooking system is available as both a retrofit and pre-installed on new stoves.
