The first regionis separated from the second regionby a wall. The underside of the base of the first chamberis provided with one or more sheathed heating elementsarranged below the first regionof the base and also with a heat transfer memberwhich extends between the first and said second regions of the base. A thermal controlhas a sensor arranged to detect when the first region of the base boils dry so as to interrupt the power supply to or reduce the heating output of the heating apparatus.
