An electrical resistance heating element includes a pair of spaced apart electrical conductors, and a strip of resistive material disposed between the conductors and extending along their lengths. A strip of heat-sensitive, electrically conductive material is also disposed between the conductors and also extends along their lengths. The strips of resistive material and heat-sensitive, electrically conductive material together provide an electrical path between the conductors widthwise along their lengths. The heat-sensitive strip interrupts an electrical path between the conductors and widthwise through the resistive material strip only over portions of the resistive material strip which attain a predetermined temperature.
