[at-l] Pot Cozies are ~hot~

[russ_a_drake at yahoo.com (Russ Drake)]

  I added two more dot velcros to the pot cover and I conducted the experiment again.
   
    This time the temp was 189 *F after 20 minutes.....  
   
    Then I conducted an experiment without the pot cozy... same temp, same time...
    After 20 mintues it was 154* F 
   
    The temp for the pot cozy fell 1.15 degrees per minute where as without the pot cozy the temp fell 2.9 degrees per minute.
