Melted my first neb piece

Congrats!

I boiled an entire 8 quart pot of nebs (6 or 7 nebs) down to a big plastic blob, basically<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0"> the first time I melted any! (Do I get a prize? LOL).

Now, I always put a lid on it, set the timer for 17 mins (well, most of the time <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> ), and try to remember to turn it down from High to Medium (barely boiling) after it boils (about 6-7 mins). So far, so good... If you have a gas stove, I would try turning the heat down a bit so the flames stay totally under the pot and use the biggest pot you have, and see if that helps.

Putting a lid mine has been a "neb saver" for me if I forget to set the timer, though <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">.

I'm with you jessi, I don't understand why more people don't use the microwave either, much, much easier.and no worry of a meltdown.
