Where is the heating element? Is it enclosed in the same place as the blade? Does the plastic piece (top of blade) ever come in contact with the jar of water when heating?

The heating element is with the blade. The bottom part is just a container that you can immerse in water. The top part has all the electronics and heating element and cleaning this part is really simple since the only dirty part is the plate and a few drops of splashed soy milk on the plastic. Also, there are marks on the bottom container to show how far you should fill it with water.

Yes, the heating element is enclosed in the same part as the blade.Yes, I think the plastic piece (top of blade) comes in contact with the jar of water when heating

I think the heating element is the bottom, similar as electric kettle.The top of the blade (white plastic) will not touch the surface of the water when the blade is not rotating. However I guess when the blade is working, some water will splash on it.

The heating element isn't exposed, but the kettle itself is metal and gets very,very hot. Only the handle and maybe part of the lid stay cool. Other kettles I've had have been more insulated and get warm but not extreme hot.

Bill, the simple answer is no used blade storage but here is what worked for me. I use a small plastic bottle? That came from a supermarket spice jar and for a while another small jar. That worked safely for me. Then a friend gave me a little white container he bought online with a slot, works great And will store used blades for a year? Hope this helps

There's a white plastic thing right below the blade. it's to cover the sharp blade when not in use. Just push it out. :)

The kneading blade is metal.Sometimes gets stuck in bread and needs to be manually removed.You also get a spare kneading blade.

Hi, there is a metal/steel at the bottom inside the pot, I believed it's a heat element.

the heating element is in the bottom of the fryer. the hose is hot to the touch only if you try to drain it right after use. I place my fryer on the side of my sink, place a plastic container in the sink and put the hose in it and drain it into the container, I then store the container for later use until full then discard it. use a couple of paper towels to wipe the crumbs from the bottom then put some dish detergent into the fryer with some hot water and leave the hose in the sink, pour water into the fryer for maybe two or three times to clean it out. I love my fryer, I actually bought another one. hope this helps the heating element is in the bottom of the fryer. the hose is hot to the touch only if you try to drain it right after use.

I want to know the same thing because the last 2 kettles I bought (Cuisinart & Hamilton Beach) had a small, round rubber part inside the kettle that comes in contact with heated/boiled water.

The heating element is in the base. There is a stainless tube running up the inside of the vessel along the side which delivers heat to the water.

If you mean the metal looking cup, that is where you place the wax tub. You do not place the wax directly in the warmer. Once the wax cools you can remove the tub and place the lid back on the wax.Hopefully this is the info you were looking for.

I put mine in after the wax was melted so it was not sitting on the heating element. Not sure it matters but that is what I did with mine.

Looking at mine there is a stainless steel layer at the bottom which would touch the burner, then there appears to be a fairly thick layer of copper, then the body of the kettle. Looked at the Nambe website at this item but no mention of copper. I do see it though. Beautiful kettle, I love it!

Where the blades spin, there is a metal cup about 1/2 inch deep. Above the metal cup, there is about 1 inch of plastic to contain the results. The removable top is plastic.

Unlike the blade on the bigger jar you might have noticed that the smaller jar has a nut screwed on it, meaning it is a fixed blade and hence cannot be removed. Best way is to soak in hot water for a while under soap solution and use a knife for the hard to reach areas

It is plastic. Yes the water touches it, but it is made in such a fashion that there is no need to worry about it getting hot. It is like a duel pane window so you can touch the outside ( which is good since that is where the handle is) and it is barely warm with boiling water inside.

Yes. The heating element is hidden in the bottom, so the liquid doesn't touch it directly.

I'll add to Jerry's excellent description that it woks by heating the plastic a bit and thus dissolving it to a point the two parts stick together. The heat is the result of electricity passing through a little coil in the little sealing area. Worked for me for a couple of months then I stopped using it since it broke down.
