Safety accesory for eletric range
(OP)
Hello,
I wanted to inquire concerning any potential maintenance issues arising out of using a safety accessory on coil burners of an electric range.
I am considering to use a safety accessory which disconnects the power supply to the coil burner if the temperature goes above 350C/662F and once the coil burner cools to below 350C/662F the product would turn the cycle back on.
My concerns are about the high frequency of turn on/off cycles that the range would have to go through which may affect the electrical contact life. Also do electric range have a fixed upper limit temperature of burner coils, because the high setting would mean max. current is allowed to pass through the coil, correct?
Thank you.

According to most sites, the high setting results in a substantially higher temperature, ala >1100°F.
It's not something I'd want on my stove, since there are lots of dishes that require the higher temperatures.
