    How can it be determined whether a particular brand hot plate is safe or not so safe?

    Good question. And does anyone know what brand was involved in the fire? I had one that seemed really safe, that never got about 200 degrees, but they don’t make it anymore.

    A lot of people say that “UL listed” products are considered safe, but I haven’t yet figured out what that means.

    It’s hard to understand how one of these things can cause a fire.

    Here are some options: 1) it was left on the hottest setting and it is meant for cooking and not just warming, so it gets so hot it catches fire itself; 2) it is on a hot setting and the food in the pot burns a bit, enough to catch fire and send sparks up, which catch fire to other parts of the house; 3) things like oven mits or rags that are near or touching the warmer/hotplate get hot and catch fire, which spreads elsewhere; 4) there’s an electrical problem and the thing just catches fire for no apparent reason (even though it’s not on an extremely high setting for a long period.)
