I have them in stock and post is free! The temperature is controllable via a very good thermostat and it has no "hotspot" . An alternative is a hot tray (hostess tray) which sometimes pop up on Ebay or in secondhand shops. You really need one with a glass top and no edges higher than the glass surface. Even then, the majority have no heat control and get a bit too hot for some things. They usually have an extra hot area too (meant for liquids in jugs, i think)
