:: smacks forehead ::

I have an electric saucepan from about 1989 that has thermostatic control. I never use it but I never threw it out because there's nothing wrong with it. It has a temperature dial that ranges from barely warm to deep frying. I'm sure that it doesn't maintain a steady temperature, and it doesn't circulate the contents, but maybe I finally have a use for this thing.

Now I need to go spelunking in the storage closets.
