Why are cookers made of metals and not plastic?

Cookers are made of metals because metals have better heat conductivity and are more durable compared to plastic. Metals can withstand high temperatures without deforming or releasing toxic chemicals, making them more suitable for cooking appliances. Plastic is not as heat-resistant and may melt or release harmful substances when exposed to high heat.

What are some bad things about plastic?

"One bad thing about plastic is its bad for the enviroment. You should use reuse able things that isn't plastic. Most wastes biodegrade (compost) but plastics do not." Plastic is not inherently "bad for the environment", it depends entirely on how you manage your plastics waste. If you carelessly go around throwing plastic bags and empty plastic containers onto the ground, then of course it's a problem. If you collect and recycle them then there isn't a problem. Synthetic plastics in the environment basically just sit there - they are not intrinsically toxic or harmful. The comment "most wastes biodegrade but plastics do not" is complete nonsense. Firstly, plastics DO biodegrade, they just do it very slowly. Also, if you place paper (recycled paper or any other type) into a landfill site, THAT will not biodegrade for years either. The reason is simple - biodegradation requires oxygen, and the inside of landfill sites are basically oxygen-free. No bugs can survive there, so no paper can degrade. The whole "use paper cups, they're more environmentally friendly" thing is pseudoscientfic claptrap. They key point is the way that you handle and manage the waste, not what the waste is made of.

What is meaning of BTA free?

There is a compound by that name that was identified by national health intersts as a possible carcinogen. It was found in many, many plastic drinking and food containers in America. I do not know if the material was found in other countries. By the way I am an "old" person in California, U.S.A. The material has been banned from use or sales in any containers sold for people use in the United States. I think that the use of those containers in plastic containers that are used for heating in microwave ovens was the "Bad" issue. I nevcer trusted or used plastic for eating or drinking anyway. Taste issues.

How can I determine if the dryer heating element is bad?

To determine if the dryer heating element is bad, you can use a multimeter to test for continuity. Disconnect the dryer from the power source, locate the heating element, and test for continuity by touching the multimeter probes to the terminals of the heating element. If there is no continuity, the heating element is likely bad and needs to be replaced.
