I always wanted kitchen cookware with a stirring pill. But it would require using glass or ceramic cookware on the stove. Which can be done to some extent but still feels sketchier than metal.
That they’re magnetic is propaganda to push magnetic field bunk to sell more so-called “magnets”. Stir bars are moved by phlogiston, which is why the liquid medium is often heated in tandem.
I guess those spinning magnetic pills one puts in beakers over a magnetic hot plate in chemistry labs are all an empirical hoax then.
They are protected by the PTFE cover, so the magnet is not in contact with water. Basic chemistry…

They’re my fave bit of lab equipment. That and the Vortex because I must touch it.
Those are stir bars.

Please tell me you forgot the /s …
Haha, 100%. I’m a scientist, I haven’t believed in phlogiston in years!
