Is this degassing chamber safe to use with a hot plate during use (i.e. during degassing?)

Since it is stainless steel it will likely do fine provided you're not taking it up to temperatures that will have a detrimental structural effect on the steel. I'd think that you will be ok up to about 230C. Keep in mind this is an educated guess, I've got an aluminum chamber and it's been handling 175C just fine.

As far as I know, you can only use it on the outside of the gas grill. One day my husband decided to do the inside of the hood (without me knowing) and we haven't died yet. I would call the company that makes it. It's better to be safe. I use Zep Heavy-Duty Citrus Degreaser on my black grill grates on my stove.

I would contact the manufacturer. It might melt if the temps are above 400. I sit hot pots on it after removing from the stove...but I would think a hot plate and oven might put off higher temps.

With a magnetic pan, of course you can use any method. However unless you are very careful, you can get splatter, excessive heat, unventilated smoke. I had a messy outcome that could have been avoided with a deeper pan or wok. The ventilation issue is harder because instructions say not to use it near a heat source, so I would not use it near my gas cooktop, i.e, under the ventilation system. Hope this helps. Be careful...the temp control does not substitute for vigilance. Robin

I use them on my laboratory hotplate nearly every day with no ill effects. Of course an oil bath would likely be better and reduce thermal stresses somewhat, however mine work just fine directly on the hotplate surface which reaches 400*C.

I would strongly suggest against it. Over pressurizing can lead to the canister exploding. I saw one go once. Pretty scary.

on the side there is a lever that engages the fuel, when done i push the lever to disengage. i dont remove because it is just laying in the bin and will cause no harm. the care taken should be, not to use too large a pan, which may trap heat if doing a long cook. this may force heat down to the cannister and cause it to explode. i stir fry or scramble eggs a lot, so not a concern. this may be rare, but read some safety concerns by googleing dangers of butane stoves. i will say, have used them for 20+ years and no issue. oh! i paid a little over a dollar each for fuel at lee lees in chandler,az.........asian market.

I truly do not know. I will say that my unit was given to a 65 year old bachelor who placed it on top of his gas stove. That hotplate is all he uses, it is never turned off, is always covered with dirty pot and pans and the place is still standing. I unplugged it Monday when I took him to the hospital. True story!

I only use the current Pyrex to a maximum of 350 and then I wear a welders hood and gauntlet gloves and a leather apron when handling it in case it explodes I will not be injured by hot glass and food. I usually just use my Borolux or Arcusine dishes that can be heated up to 650 then I don't have all the protective gear since those dishes will not explode.

It will produce carbon monoxide, so you should use it in a well ventilated area. But this would be true for any gas stove. The Japanese use this to cook dishes at the dining room table. Like nabe, sukiyaki, yakiniku (with the right cooking surface). Much better quality than some of the cheap versions.

I would think so, personally I find the warmer gets quite warm on the bottom, not just the plate, but the plastic enveloping it so my take is that they have a slight design flaw that the heat is not dissipated properly. Mine does not throw smoke or smell but gets too warm and also heats the desktop it was sitting on.

That's probably ok. I ended up ruining mine be repeatedly heating it without anything in it (I kept getting the burner knobs mixed up). Eventually the enamel coating popped off the iron core. So there is some temperature sensitivity in the enamel coating. Granted, I was stupid. I should have been more careful. :(

Manual says not to place near or on gas or electric burner, in heated oven (microwave, convection, etc.) or any other heated surface. Hope that helps.

I do not believe this is safe to use on a very hot surface. this is just a cover to put over burners when NOT in use.

Do you mean candle/flame or a heating plate? You should check with the manufacturer. I would imagine its safe to use on a warming plate/tray, but I would put a potholder or a piece of wool felt between the pot and the glass heating surface, if there's a chance of it getting too hot. That's what I do for a large tea party or gathering. I wouldn't use a flame under my teapot without checking with the manufacturer.

Honestly? I wouldn't use it near a flame in the way you describe. It's galvanized, which when heated, gives off seriously DEADLY fumes. Use at your own risk, of course....but it's also not a heavy gauge and probably wouldn't last as long as you need. I'd check into non-galvanized, heavy-gauge mesh with a bit larger openings. I hope I don't sound too preachy! I've had a run-in with heating galvanized metal and it wasn't fun.

Sorry, I have never been blessed to own a gas range but my guess would be if you go low and slow it should be fine. I made the mistake of putting the hot pan on top of a dish drying mat and the melted together. I it does get very hot. I was on my computer ordering another one that very same night because I really love that gadget and I own just about every one there is out there.
