Mitty - I use a hot plate to cook, a 800(?) watt unit that will NOT melt lead! Same one I use to heat mold. Cheap, takes up little space on the workbench and guarantees NO melted bullets. Turn on high and come back in 20 min. Done.

I tried warming up ingots on my hotplate - came back to melted lead all over the saw blade I use for heat distribution, and down inside the pan of the hotplate. Good thing all of my lead melting, heating, and casting is done on a stainless steel table!
By the way, I didn't leave the room, I was just working on something else and had my back turned on the hotplate.
