iPhone 11 Pro Screen Removal
If you don't have a hot plate for screen removal, could a glass cooktop on low heat be a viable substitute? Or would that just destroy things?

In my experience, heat is not necessary, but can be helpful on these displays. A suction cup and some force is generally sufficient.
As was previously mentioned the iOpener tool would fit the bill, but if that’s not an option, I have been known to use “heating pad” type alternatives. Rice, barley or oats in an old cotton sock + a microwave would serve a similar purpose. Although these contain some moisture, so I advise caution when employing this method. Or encasing in shrink wrap or a ziplock bag before applying to the phone.

Hi Tony,
I'm not clear on why you feel you need a hot plate for removing the screen, but I'd be leery of using a cooktop, especially when a hair dryer will work suitably instead. The iFixit iOpener is pretty inexpensive and will do the job, as will a hot air gun if you have one. Here in the US, you can pick one up at Harbor Freight for about $17, but you do have to be a bit careful with it, as you can overheat an LCD or OLED display with them and ruin them that way.
