The Nor'Easter magnetic stir plate (stirring platform) features a large 8" x 8" stainless steel platform to support just about any size flask you want to throw at it (up to 5 liter) The smooth surface also makes cleanup a breeze if the starter happens to blow out.

Features:

Dimensions: 8" x 8" x 3"H
Grounded 3-prong plug on a 38" long cord for use with 120 volt household circuits.
Power On/Off switch with indicator LED.
Rotary knob to smoothly select speed of stirring.
Rubber feet to minimize walking on smooth surfaces.

Required but not included:
Vessel to hold your yeast starter such as our 2 liter Erlenmeyer Flask (or any vessel smaller than 12" diameter with a generally flat bottom)
Teflon-coated magnetic stir bar between 1-2" in length. Stir bars with lengths outside of this range will tend to get thrown more easily at high speeds. Over the years we've found that it's best to have an assortment of stirbar lengths with and without the center rib because there is no one size fits all. Sometimes the bottom of your vessel and what kind of curvature it has makes one bar better or worse than others.

Stirbars can be found here.
