If you make a lid(with breather hole) for the outer boiler you'd retain a lot of heat and water.
Plus it'd help with heat up time too. Like putting a lid on the saucepan on the stove

Thanks Doubleuj.
I know sealing it and having a breather hole will keep heat and water in but I just don't have the skills or tools to fabricate it. My criteria for this was that it had to be not too expensive and doable with the minimum of tooling. I'm enough of a tool as it is!

The larger pot did indeed come with a lid.

Would it build pressure? would it be dangerous like that? any idea professor/ wj?

Haha, you haven't seen my failures have you??? :laughing-rolling: I'm the sprinkler king
Couldn't the lid have the centre cut out, forming a donut shape that just sits on the outer boiler?

It only really needs to get to 80°c to get the job done.
I wonder how long it will take for the temp to equalize between the wash and bath?

I think it will probably reach a rolling boil as I think it will need to be hotter than the liquid in the inner pot to cause that to boil. Guess I'll find out when I do my first run.
