minus-square@Fermion@feddit.nllinkfedilink81•5 months agoIt’s aluminum, and I have seen it first hand. My brother is not attentive… He almost burned the house down a couple times. Those coil heaters put out a lot of heat at full power. Once all the water evaporates, that heat raises the temperature of the pan very quickly. Don’t set a pot to boil and then go do something else in a different room, especially if that something else is playing age of empires.

minus-square@filcuk@lemmy.ziplinkfedilink5•5 months agoThis is a ‘fun’ experiment - you can boil water in a fire using a plastic bottle. The water absorbs all the energy and prevents the container from melting (same principle).

But if you watch it, it won’t boil?
