oven rings

How come you don't get electrocuted when you put a metal pan on the heating rings on an electric oven? From what I understand there is electricity going through it to make it hot, sort of like a light bulb.

Same reason why you don't get electrocuted when you touch a light bulb.

A. Because there's glass covering it.

Thats a hob, not an oven. An oven is the part of the cooker you use to roast a chicken/bake a cake/heat a frozen pizza

And the current is not passing through the bit of the element you see, its spiraled metallic tube, with the tube connected to earth, inside the tube is a thin coiled heating element of nickel/chrome resistance wire which is packed out magnesium oxide power which keeps it centered in the middle

Well you completely sucked the fun out of it, and ruined it for everyone. You terrible awful person.

Don't take it personally, godinman; [FnG]magnolia takes a great deal of pleasure in trampling on the joy of others. It's just your misfortune that he singled you out this time.

This has satisfied my curiosity for the time being.

Mmmmm onion rings

Depends if your cooker was installed by the most inept people in the world or not, I had one that shocked me on a regular basis, everyone likes a poorly earthed supplier of shocks.
