Product review (5 stars): Bought to use as a plate; works well as a heating element, too
I ordered this expecting to use it as a plate.  You see, I like to have a large plate so none of my food touches the other.  Not even the juices.  So, I saw this bad boy and thought, "This is perfect.  I just have to take off the coils and do something other things, but it will work."  As I was waiting for this to come, my dryer broke.  It just so happened that this heating element fit my dryer.  I had to do something serious thinking, but in the end, dry and clean smelling clothes trumped having a large plate, so I ended up using this as it was intended.  It was pretty simple to replace and now my dryer works like new!  As for my plate, I'll just use a trash can lid.  New, of course.
