The Boiling Ring(Heater) is a very common household electrical appliance in Nigeria. It can be adapted for various uses like boiling water and cooking light meals. The Heater has caused a lot of disasters and even claimed lives in homes due to improper usage. Back then in School, I and my roommates used this heater to prepare roasted chicken. When we kill a chicken, we remove the feathers and all the intestines and other necessary 'removables'. We then insert the heater through the orifice created at the anus region and plug the heater. After some minutes, the chicken becomes fully roasted. We then order some Budweiser Beer to use and wash it down. Share your experience(s) using this electrical appliance. 21 Likes

The olden days heaters were good and worked perfectly well. But the ones we have now, can't even last longer by mere only boiling water. Heater consumes much power. 60 Likes 5 Shares |

My experience with this boiling ring eh... Funnily enough, it's still my go-to just for heating up water. Over the years, I've understood it and serves me well. It's very fast and easy to use especially when I need to heat up water. When I started using it, the plastics I use will melt because I didn't fill them to the brim. I also remember using it to cook beans half done because I heard somebody say it. Same for white rice and it worked. Those days when we were trying to conserve kerosene or gas 90 Likes 5 Shares |

Back in the day, using this heater to heat water was very easy and stress-free when there was light. You don't have to waste kerosenes or gas or firewoods. Most time while having the heater inserted in the water and plugged to the socket, i would dip my finger in the water to check if the water is becoming hot.. Quite risky but, nothing happened to me. 28 Likes 3 Shares |

So happy that things like this are not in use like as of then,Now we have hot plate as another better option. A real death trap. I could remember a particular night back then I forgot to unplug this boiler from the kitchen socket after power (Nepa) outage, I left it placed inside a plastic container with water we normally use for it to cool off after use, Power was restored back at 4am in the morning, I woke by 6am only to get to the kitchen to see a very thick mist of cloud( smoke everywhere). The useless boiler dried the water in the plastic cup, burnt the plastic cup and caught the wooden shelve beneath it on fire. It was a scary experience. 74 Likes 2 Shares |

I'll never ever forget. It was December 26, 1999 The Fanti Carnival was going on from street to street, there was a procession of happy people dancing and all. A neighbour plugged water with this appliance, she wanted to make eba. There was power outage and on hearing the sounds of drumming outside, she left to go see the procession without unplugging the boiling ring. She even followed the procession. Shortly after, power was restored. Nobody knew that the house was in flames until it was too late. The lady, a teenager at the time left her sleeping baby in the room. Somebody had to do a Jack Bauer stunt to go pull out the baby. Our apartment was right next to where the fire started. I wasn't even home, just my kid brothers and sisters. Our parents have traveled to celebrate Christmas in our village. My big sis too wasn't home. That was how the entire building was razed, as in totally razed at Christmas. The fire was fast. It had caught all the ceilings, so when people rushed in to pick things, the ceiling was dropping on them, they had to abort the mission. We didn't bring out a pin from the fire. We had just the clothes we were wearing, no pants nothing. I'm mostly pained about my pictures. All the childhood pictures, those memories gone. People in the neighborhood started donating stuff ranging from clothes to food, to money. We became destitute. Our parents had to cut short their trip. We slept with friends, family etc for about 3 months before we got our groove back. I had to return to school a week or so after the fire incident. Before then, I moved in with my bf now hubby. My dad had to cough out money for new clothes apart from the normal semester expenses, my bf too. I came back after the semester to a new apartment. Since then, you'd never see me use that thing, Never! 93 Likes 10 Shares |

placeofallure: Mehn!!! Ours would have been like that if not for the quick intervention of our next door neighbor. I think I was barely five or so, my mum was using it to boil water. She then told me to off the socket when it starts boiling. Locking me and my younger bro from outside, she went to get something close by. Mumu me, instead of switching off the socket when the water started to boil, I removed the boiling ring and placed it on the table while the socket was still on Na so fire oh, it started getting serious, to the extent that the flame was almost touching our ceiling. I was just there looking, telling my younger brother "see fire," fortunately our neighbor started perceiving the smell of something burning,traced it to our room and that was how that impending disaster was averted oh. After then, the use of boiling ring in the compound was banned by our landlord. The fear of boiling ring is still in me till tomorrow 71 Likes 7 Shares |
