Thread: Best Brand for Clear

[COLOR="#FF0000"]Warning if you're going to use a hot plate you better be on top of that you can burn your plastic very easily not to mention that using a hot aluminum pan could be very dangerous you're more apt to burn yourself so if you're going to use a hot plate be very very cautious . microwave is definitely the safest way to go you may To stir more when you are heating it . a few words about using a thermal meter you are probably right about reading surface temperature but it gives me a good ideal on where that plastic is I do not have any problem if I keep it 325 to 350° just make sure that you stir it well because the bottom like you say in the above may be a little cooler but I've had never never had any problems doing it this way and less you are going to stick a candy thermometer into your plastic would be the only way that you can tell when it is on the bottom using that type of to monitor be very cautious playing it on a cold surface these are just my opinions and I feel that the microwave is the safest I don't like people getting into using hot plastic and not knowing anything about it especially messing around with hot plates we've been into plastics going on over four years before this idea try a hot plate and burnt a lot of plastic and I did not like the fact that this was very messy so if you're going to use that hot plate again I'm warning you be very careful.
