Need a Hot Plate? Use an Iron as a Quick (And Free) DIY Alternative

If you're the kind of person who frequently does science experiments at home, you probably have a hot plate. But if you're more of an occasional amateur scientist (or just don't want to buy one), it's much easier to hack your own.
