Would you use a metal or non on BBQ hotplate?

Metal hotplates can leach heavy metals into food, which can have negative health effects. This is especially true if the hotplate is old and scratched. Non-metal hotplates, such as ceramic or porcelain, do not leach heavy metals and are therefore a safer option.

In addition, metal hotplates can cause food to stick and burn. This can create carcinogens and other harmful compounds. Non-metal hotplates are less likely to cause food to stick and burn, reducing your exposure to these harmful substances.

Overall, a non-metal BBQ hotplate is a healthier choice than a metal hotplate. It is less likely to leach heavy metals or cause food to stick and burn, both of which can have negative health effects.
