I'm having a hard time with the temp of 1 degree per minute - i've tried lowering the frame, cover on, cover off, moving the pot - maybe there's a different method that would be easier to the temps to rise more systemematically - rather than surge or stall?
I'm using a big canning pot with about 2 inches of water in the bottom - i have the one pint jar on a rack. i also have a roaster pan or electric frypan i could try if you think it would work better?
thanks...
