Is there any faster or less labor-intensive method of drying a batch?
An informed netter replies: You are absolutely right. I “understand” that placing the “stuff” into a glass casserole dish, then immersing in a double boiler setup does the job much nicer, while still being well within the means of the average kitchen. The main things to keep in mind are the addition of ethanol to thin the stuff while drying, and the use of a large surface area, to promote moving solvent into the air, both water and ethanol.
