Years ago, it seemed like everyone had an immersion heater. Of course that was before the microwave came into existence. They are quite easy to use and the HomeFlav is much sturdier than any of them I've had before. The stainless steel coil is a good 1/4" thick. The immersion heater appears to be an intuitive device to work, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind when using one.



First of all, it's unwise to use them to heat liquid in any paper or plastic container. The heater really can generate heat and will boil water. You don't just toss the whole thing in liquid, but rather just the exposed stainless section. What I do is prepare before even plugging in. The smaller ones have been known to melt if not in liquid so I put water in my cup, put the immersion heater in, and then plugged in. Once again, remember to immerse the coils BEFORE plugging in the unit.



No, it doesn't heat instantly. It does take a few minutes, but while you are heating up water for your tea or some soup, you can busy yourself around the area doing something else. Obviously, this is not a device you won't want to walk away from. Once my water was heated up, I removed the heater an placed it on a surface that won't burn. You can also have another cup of water at the ready to place it in. Good solid immersion heater that works well, but don't expect instant heating.
