I picked up these two items @ WM the other day. Had already tried a baby bottle warmer-a disaster. Full on boil, and even w variable temp, they shut off after a few minutes.
So, the item on the right, the 'hot pot' even on warm, it boil the water, then shut off is how it worked. The temp was ~160*. Too hot for the window of 140-150.
So, the little crock pot ($9) is undergoing testing.
What you see is a metal coffee can, and a 1/2" Styrofoam top over the crockpot insert secured w heavy foil air duct tape.
The water in the insert is near the top, and about 1:10 bleach. There is an access plug in the back.
I had to add a variable rheostat as you can see.
Currently, the temp w rheostat set at about 3-4 oclock is from 135-141*. Anything else is outside of the range.
Takes about 4 hours for the thing to warm up.

So, there is a lot of waste, and adding water to the HHG whilst cooking it, so I started looking around on Amazon for small squeeze bottles w a wide outlet.
What I came up w is taking a syringe, cutting off the hub, and enlarging the opening for a small stopper:
011.JPGA reamer was used to ensure a round opening-so far no leakage.
That is a 20 ml syringe, there is 12gm of 192 in it w 15 ml water.
No adding water, no stirring.
Thoughts?
