Plug-in elements were common at one time, my parents had a 'Falco Royal' cooker where evertthing plugged in (and which had a bank of rewireable fuses inside, the rings, oven, grill, timer motor, etc each had their own fuse).

The plug-in rings are close-to-unobtainable now. I tried to get one 25 years ago, no luck. You can sometimes modify the plug-in part to take one of the screw-fixed spiral ring elements used in 1970's cookers (which are a little easier to find).

I think I still have one 'large' plug-in element and 2 or so smaller screw-fixed ones on the shelf. If anyone is interested they are welcome to them but they have to be collected from me I'm afraid.
