It is dangerous to use any electrical device for purposes it in not designed for. In the case of a hot plate they are not designed to be on for extended periods of time. With the open element there is the danger of it becoming a source for a fire and dangerous burns. Suggestion, buy a plug in baseboard heater, they are not that expensive and much more safer to use around the home.
