newattitude oven and stove top elements, those that specialize in his type of scrap have shredders with separators to sort the various metals by their specific gravity. The inside wire is chromalox with a very high nickel content, for us small types its not practical to shred to get he high dollar nickel out.
If you can get SS price grab it and run.
The heating elements from electric hot water tanks, dryers, heaters and large resisters have the same wire already exposed, just clip it off and save it until you have enough to sell (100) lbs, plenty of companies online offering to purchase nickel scrap.
That 100 lb lot would net you around $700.00
The newer glass top ranges the wire is easy to remove from the refractory it's embedded in.
End of life auto shredder, separating copper from ferrous metal
