Boiling 2000mL+ of water on “old fashioned” electric stove top. This was a trial run for yeast starters. It is generally recommended not to boil with Erlenmeyer flasks on an electric stove. It appears it is possible with a burner plate to dissipate heat although either the flask or the plate or both are not flat because there was only a circle of contact between the flask and the plate. It boiled for over 1/2 an hour which is twice as long as you need to boil a yeast starter without cracking or exploding. Success!

http://www.ForkenSwift.com – Officially, we’re only at the battery rack building stage of the project. But while waiting to get a welder to finish the job, Spring Fever struck and against better judgment we piled 6 batteries into the car, hooked everything together and went up & down the street a bunch of times.
(Oh – and by the way, if you enjoy spotting continuity errors in movies, you’ll have a field day with this one!)
Again, apologies for the video quality – 20 year-old video camera, makeshift way of getting the pics into the computer for editing.
In case titles are hard to read, here they are:
1. a BIG ForkenSwift milestone
2. Officially… we’re at the stage of the project where we’re making battery racks.
3. The racks will hold four batteries up front, and four in the hatchback.
4. (Cardboard mockups – help figure out positioning and clearances.)
5. But while waiting for a welder to finish the trays… we got SPRING FEVER
6. and decided to “set up” (ahem) the car for a little test drive
7. Here’s the forklift pot box, modified to talk nicely to the golf cart controller
8. Surplus forklift battery charger.
9. Umm… Don’t try this at home. :-O
10. Darin’s actual first drive …
11. Shhhh… Listen…
12. Listen to this: unsolicited feedback from a guy fixing a car in his driveway…
13. “HEY – WHY’S YOUR CAR SO QUIET?”
14. ” BULL$#!T … REALLY ? ”
15. ” AWESOME! ”
16. THAT WAS NOT MADE UP ![]()
17. Ivan takes a spin.
18. Coming up: more comments from the peanut gallery, in … 3 … 2 … 1 …
19. ” Can you turn the muffler up a little bit, Ivan? ”
20. An impromptu car show with the car repair guy and his friends …

A heat tolerable glass jar to hold approx 200 ml of Methanol to be boiled to completed evaporation not disimilar to a coffee glass jug with an electric element.
Methanol boils at 65 deg C. You do not need a hot plate, just use an ordinary glass jar and put in a saucepan of hot water. Just be careful to organise it so that the glass jar can’t tip over.
BTW, methanol is flammable and burns with an almost invisible flame, so be VERY careful around heat sources, sparks.
here is the full question:
a) grinding the coffee.
b) heating the water.
c) passing the hot water through the coffee grounds.
d) passing the coffee grounds solution through the filter.
e) stirring sugar into the coffee.

what r the atoms doing during the entire thing?
They get really excited and let off flavor.
its a solid-sterling-silver antique teapot, id be using it on a regular electric stove on the top burner
Putting any teapot, antique or not, metal or china/earthenware, over direct heat could damage it and possibly injure the person using it. You don’t boil the tea in the pot; you boil the water in a teaKETTLE or any pan and pour it over the tea leaves or bags in the pot. (It helps to pour a little boiling water into the empty pot, swish it around, and then pour it out, before putting in the tea and the rest of the water.)
so, i am house-sitting tonight and went to boil some water for tea. wasnt really thinking much, must’ve been a blonde moment, and put an electric cordless teapot on a electric stove. did quickly realize what i had done, partially b/c of the smoke that filled the kitchen.
i turned the stove off, opened door to porch, and turned on the fan above the microwave, airing kitchen out now.
now the smoke is contained to the kitchen, but i’m still a little worried, anything else i can do?
The only thing you can really do is to air out the place. You might be able to take the electric heating element out of the stove- some of them simply pull out. That will let you wash off the remnants of the plastic that melted on it, so that it doesn’t smoke and stink so badly the next time that burner is used.
You might mix up a mixture of baking soda and water- just enough to make a paste. Rub that on anything that has melted plastic or smoke marks on it, let it sit, then rinse it off. That will help pull the smell out.
Other than that- just fess up whenever the people get home. They ought to laugh it off as an honest mistake, and they’re going to find out anyway when they go looking for their teapot.
And don’t feel too badly- one of my friends did the *exact* same thing when she went to England, having never seen an electric kettle before.
