Hamilton Beach 31143 Oven, Silver
$79.99
Description
Provides steady, controlled heat for remelting and remolding gel.
Inconsistent heating can lead to uneven melts, wasted batches, and delays. The Hamilton Beach 31143 solves this with precise temperature control and simple, reliable dials that make it easy to set, monitor, and repeat your process.
Use the 30-minute timer for single runs or choose Stay-On for batch work. Two rack positions help you position molds for even heating, while the ready bell and auto shutoff reduce over-heating risks during repeat sessions. The stainless exterior wipes clean, and the slide-out tray streamlines end-of-day maintenance.
The result is a cleaner workflow, more consistent blocks, and less downtime between training sessions—so your team can focus on teaching and practice rather than equipment hassles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1) What is the Hamilton Beach 31143 Oven used for?
It provides controlled, repeatable heat for remelting Humimic gel, pre-warming molds, and holding temperature during remolding workflows.
2) Does using this oven affect gel performance or imaging?
No. When you follow standard gel-handling guidance, the oven simply supplies controlled heat and does not change the gel’s handling or ultrasound characteristics.
3) Can I adjust settings for different sessions or materials?
Yes. Use the temperature dial for precise heat, the 30-minute timer for single runs, or Stay-On for continuous batches. Two rack positions help you fine-tune placement for even heating.
4) Can I use this when adding colorants like tan dye?
Yes. Many teams remelt gel, mix in tan dye thoroughly, then return the container to the oven to maintain gentle, even heat while removing bubbles and preparing to pour.
5) What temp does gelatin melt and how should I set the oven?
Follow Humimic’s gel guidance for melting and remelting. Always use controlled, moderate heat, monitor your setup closely, and allow gel to cool before handling.
