Hot plate (Fallout 3)

The Hot Plate is a medical and scientific device used for the heating of a glass container and for sample drying. These items are portable, can be placed on a flat surface, and can be inventoried in the Pip-Boy 3000A. The Pip-Boy 3000A categorizes the hot plate as miscellaneous junk. A glass container is placed on a ceramic surface and is heated by a hot plate enclosed within the base. On the base's front, there is a variable heat knob for manually selecting the plate's temperature up to 375 degrees and an indicator lamp that glows when the plate is active. Hot plates are often associated with laboratory sets and test tube holders and are often accompanying them. These hot plates are communally owned in the Vault-Tec Vaults and are used by vault physicians in their offices and teachers and students in classrooms.

Game Play
A player's character can interact with the hot plate and inventory the item in their Pip-Boy 3000A.

Just like the Giant Teddy Bear, a giant Hot Plate can be found among the shelves of the Museum of Dave in the Republic of Dave. Note that in order to obtain the Hot Plate, the player must Steal the object like all other things inside the Museum (excluding the Bobble-Head).
