In reply to Rory. The controller is attached to the bottom of the pot so you can access it from the outside. Always disassemble the hot plate you use and put the just the coil and it's shield inside.

Did you remove the element from the hot plate or put the hot plate inside the pot? I have gone through a few hot plates that cannot stand the heat inside the pot. I am considering remoting the element from the controls so that I can control the temperature without disasembly.
