High-End, Heat-Limiting Technolgy can eliminate food-on-the stove fires on electric ranges.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. - July 8, 2013 - PRLog -- Technology is a wonderful thing!  We think of technology as our laptop, desk top, iPad, iPhone, e-reader, and all other modes of info gathering and sharing resources in our daily lives.  But technology that helps us do our job needn’t stop there.  Thanks to some leading edge design technicians in the private sector, we now have cooking appliance technology that can help us to effectively make cooking fires—particularly those that result from deep frying—a thing of the past.  Seriously

In his e-Book, Putting a "Lid" on Food-on-the-Stove Fires, Fire Chief (Ret.) Stan Tarnowski shares technology with you that has been designed, manufactured, rigorously tested by the appropriate testing agencies, approved and put in the field to make elimination of stove top cooking fires a reality in our lifetime.  (The Mayor and City Council of Union City, Georgia, for one, enacted a city-wide ordinance in September 2012 that mandates the use of this technology).

The name for this “silver bullet” is High End Heat-Limiting Technology (HEHLT).  

The Safe-T-Element®, manufactured by Pioneering Technology, is a HEHLT device thatis  bolted to the existing burner coils of the range and adds a thermocouple control circuit for each burner. These thermocouple circuits prevent burners from reaching the auto-ignition temperatures of cooking oils (370°C/698°F) or common household cellulose materials (400°C/752°F). There is still plenty of heat available to cook the food (and even blacken it) but unattended cooking can no longer start a kitchen fire.

This temperature is sufficient enough to heat oil or grease to a proper temperature for frying, but never enough to reach the 698 degrees F required to for auto-ignition of the cooking oil or grease.  That’s exactly what HEHLT (http://www.pioneeringtech.com/safe-t-element) does when properly installed.  You can see HEHLT at work through this video link:

How about that?  No fire to start, no matter how long the person is away from the stove top or how long the oil is heating up.  HEHLT is a reality and available to everyone who has an electric coil stove top and its affordable at less than $300 per stove top (four elements).  The technology meets code requirements, is installed in over 85,000 homes today, and is recognized by, among others, the International Association of Fire Chiefs and the Department of Defense (DoD).  (DoD has mandated the installation of HEHLT in all military residential housing on DoD facilities world-wide).
