for the guys who are using presto pots, about how long is the time for your plastic to reach pouring temp starting from room temp? and if you are using a microwave first to heat your plastic how long do you let your pot "warm up" before adding the hot plastic from the microwave? also how much would be considered a minimum amount per pour? 2 quarts? thanks brett

I rarely use the Presto Pot I made. But when I do use it, I only use two cups at a time and I guess it takes about 15 minutes for it to be ready to pour. It takes me much longer to use the pot than Pyrex/microwave, but that's just me.

I have just gotten a presto pot and am going to do some experiments today. I heat the "old school" way with pots and burners. The time factor will not bother me, but I have some of the same questions as you. I will psot my results later.

152nd's pot must be more powerful than mine. It took 1 hour and 15 min. to heat up 2.5cups.(20 oz) It may be the way I did it as I only turned the temp up to 325 to begin with. After a half hour I turned it up to 350. After another half hour I turned it to 400 and then backed down after ten minutes as the plastic became ready quickly. It turned out pretty good but it will take some getting used to as I am used to using a pot and having more control over the flow.

All the Presto's I have made take about 7 minutes to go from normal to pour. 2 cups is a good small pour and if you tilt the base just a bit and have a flush drain you will get all but enough to make say 5- 5" sticks Once cool you can peel any left over out and keep in a safe place till the next pour so almost zero waste.

What temp do you set it at when you begin? Do you start at 400 and back off when it gets ready to pour? I thought that 400 would scorch the plastic. forgive my ignorance on this as I have just used my presto for the first time today.

Usaully 350 is just about right on, the dials are pretty accurate. When pouring in the winter in a cold garage 20-30 i run it at 360 or so but that was cause i had a fan blowing right on the pot to clear the air. You should contruct a exhaust fan and hose if you pour indoors /closed envoirnment.

Keep an eye on the light that indicates if the heating element is on. If it cyclingon/off that could be an issue. Another thing to watch is the voltage at the heating element. Presto's are 10.6 amps 1300 watts, if you are using an small extension cord that coud be a cause of slow heating.

I wait to put in my salt, scent, color and glitter right before I pour. I think one other reason mine might take a little longer is it has a solid steel stirrer as opposed to aluminum. It will take a little for that to heat up also. I did 2 cups and seemed to work okay.

Yes, the light does go on and off but I beleive that it is doing as the temp is reached and then needs to reheat. Or shoukd it be on all the time? I thought that it should shut off when the temp is reached.

Take, for instance, the Earth and the immediate vicinity of a black hole, where strong gravity makes time flow extremely slowly. Say you start two clocks ticking on Monday at the two locations. When Friday comes around on Earth, it will still be only Wednesday by the black hole. So if you could travel instantaneously from Earth to near the black hole, you could travel from Friday back to Wednesday. Hey presto: time travel.
