Okay, okay, I know... perking equals bad. BUT! (you knew there had to be a self-righteously indignant "but" in there, right? Good.) But... I found a vintage glass silex stovetop percolator for a whole buck! Science experiment for a buck- wouldn't you try?
Anyways, the only deterrent to trying it out immediately is this- I don't want to die in a fiery vintage glass shattering explosion in my own kitchen. I have a gas range; do I just place it right on the burner? I've tried looking around the interwebs, and I see a "grid" recommended for electric ranges, but that's all.
I just thought it'd be fun for curiosity's sake, but I'm not so keen on the slight danger to life/limb/eyesight that it could possibly entail.
Thanks, all!
