Element run dry

We have all been told a thousand not to run our elements dry. Just thought I would share an extreme case. This is not from my kettle but from a hot water tank I serviced today. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1433898506.306955.jpg

I have accidentally run a low heat density element dry in my RIMS heater for a few minutes. It lived! to my utter amazement and still working after 10 or more years.

The regular ones WILL fry quickly! Been there.
