That's not a good idea at all. Almost guaranteed to be counterfeit with triac rated <50% of current written on SSR and dodgy insulation.

This particually supplier is selling the genuine item.  I have purchased from them before and have taken them apart and checked. ( once you open them its very apparent ).   If you see the notes above i have already mentioned this issue.   There are many clones out there.  Not just on ali, but also ebay.  First clue if they are about $2-3, they absolutely are fake.

Great to hear things are picking up again. Is there any special control loop/pid code implementation going to be required? I think that is the only bit that might be a little bit tricky.

The simplePID is pretty cool. Seems ideal to be able to develop with a PC and then transfer to anything that runs python. Really flexible approach.

A few months back I bought a largish stainless steel pan with glass lid. I think its about 23cm diameter and not far off tall. I do not have a heater for it yet. The Breville unit you are using does not seem to be available in the uk or at least not without a high shipping cost.

Anyone recommend a hotplate that would be beefy enough for this system. Sounds like I might need a few kw to get something working if I am to be similar to what is being used for this project. I quite like the pan so would like to find a hotplate. I think it being relatively tall should help with cooling.

^^^ this topic will be something that everyones going to have to work through depending on where they are located.    For those in AU/NZ the breville is easy to get, and there is a similar zip.     You just have to go and look to see whats about.  Theres not an exact requirement to use the the same model.   The 'harder' part is that you need to find something that does not have a non-stick coating. ( or be prepared to remove it ), as it appears that might be an issue.  ( i have not tested that, mine is non-stick ).

I doubt you'll need several kw.   It probaby will work on signficantly less.
