Thankfully this is false. This would be incredibly dangerous and unreliable. The general design is a heating coil with an insulator that is then then jacketed in a steel or iron sheath.
When the element on my neighbors electric stove failed, the heating coil found its way through the insulator and the steel jacket. The electric current bored a hole through the aluminum pot she was using.
- kazinator 11y agoThe entire insulated assembly consisting of a heating wire embedded in casing is commonly called a "heating coil". I didn't say anything about a bare, uninsulated electric coil being immersed in water. The point is that this assembly is immersed in water; all the heat which escapes from it goes into the water. This is not true of a stove top heating.
