[at-l] Pot Cozies are ~hot~

[daveh at psknet.com (David Hicks)]

I replicated the experiment.

The temperature in my kitchen was 67* F,
 I heated in two cups of tap water to a boil @ 208*F  here at approximately 
2100 ft and 30.02" mercury.
I placed the pot in the cozy and set the timer for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes elapsed, I took the cover off of the cozy and took out the 
pot and measured temperature.
After 20 minute the temp was 188.7F*

I repeated the process w/o the cozy.
After 20 minute the temp was 151.5F*

Or about 3:1 advantage.

However, more importantly, I know mine can cook the stuff I dehydrate.  As 
yours is in the same ball park you should do well.

  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.
