Rav Belsky explained that there are two heaters in an electric urn. The larger heater turns on when the urn is filled with cold water. Once the proper temperature is reached, the first heater turns off and a second smaller heater turns on to maintain the temperature. <br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Rav Belsky never saw my electric urn or he would no doubt have paskened differently. In fact every electric urn I have ever owned (perhaps five or six, made by at least two different manufacturers) had but a single element, operated via a simple bimetallic thermostat. I suppose things may be different in the US where you use lower voltages, but I'm frankly surprised that a manufacturer would use such a complicated apparatus instead of the simple
design I'm familiar with.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div>
