does the hot water dispenser lock to accidental prevent burns
794024
It takes so long to heat the water that an accidental mishap is extremely unlikely. We never use the feature as it is much faster to microwave the cup of water than wait. I checked it out just to verify it works and no one has used it since. If you don't have a microwave than it is useful if you are a patient individual.

Yes it prevents, it is a thermostat means keep warm your food for long time.

The dispenser can be locked from the bottom prior to securing on the stand - this keeps the tab from being depressed in order to open the lid. The dispenser can also be used unlocked and will still require some dexterity to open the top of the unit.

I have one of these,i don't know how heat resistant it is. But I styled it using boiling water and had no issues

No. When the water boils the unit shuts off. If the water isn't used right away it will cool off.

Wilma - Not sure what you are asking, but if you are talking about the cap where you put the water, it may be that when the water is too hot, it won't let you unscrew the cap, as a safety precaution. Also, when screwing it on, it doesn't tighten all the way, to allow for steam escape. Hope this helped you. Barbara

No, it does not. Previous replies have stated it will compromise the effectiveness of the safe (water damage). Know a welder?

Yes, the element is concealed. This unit heats water very fast, gets very hot but the handle remains cool.

No. This just blocks them from touching the stove. Safety First brand makes an oven lock that would help with that.

Yes, it does. If you are nearby, you can hear it click off when it reaches the correct temperature. The water stays hot at least five minutes, in case you are busy with something else.

It will go off but you can keep it hot by resetting but not starting to boil again.

I would offer that after the unit has been on for awhile on high, it is hot enough to cause burns to skin (if the skin were to be held on the unit for more than a second). It is a very effective unit for keeping items warm and overall is the best warming tray we have had.

Probably not since I wouldn't recognize a safety interlock anyway, so I'm guessing it doesn't have safety locks. I'll add that I'm completely satified with the burner. I use it a lot without any problems.

No it does not. It actually has a safety the you have to disengage to get the trigger pressed and then you have to hold the trigger yourself. It takes a little getting used to and can be a bit of a pain but what I love about this unit is the fact that it heats up very quickly, has a big reservoir, and you don't have to wait for it to cool down to add more water. I'm sure the reason for the trigger is for safety so I deal with it.

I have not used this with a hot water bath canner but, as long as there is an iron based pot in contact with the plate, the system maintains a steady temperature when you use the numbered settings. It doesn't turn on and off when it reaches a set temperature.

Yes it can be. That said, it's not designed for your application. It requires constant water flow and will stay in alarm and turned off if it doesn't detect it. I'm sure you can defeat the safety interlocks but at what risk? Trust me, a submerged arm in water with a cracked heating element tube isn't fun or funny at all!

That sound sort of dangerous...i looked it up on the insinkerator doctor and it wasn't really a "question" though it did say that over hot water could lead to spitting and spouting of water. Perhaps turn it down a little and call insinkerator if that doesn't work.
