Well, it happened. Stupid mistake...
I was heating up some spare water to use during cleaning and went to pump it over to my BK. I forgot to turn off the element. I smelled burning...realized what I did... flipped the switch... and then glanced down at my glowing cherry red element in my HLT. I let it cool, but it's definitely scorched.

I haven't done much research yet because it happened late last night, but what are my options? Can it be cleaned? Should I cut my losses and just order another?
