With a bit of fiddling I ended up with a base and a lid that would then fit over the casserole. Put a thermocouple in there once and, from 100degC, it was still over 60degC 13 hours later.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236459315155380910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330775846201490413.post-41343381939775585042012-07-25T03:34:31.025+10:002012-07-25T03:34:31.025+10:00Sounds fantastic!
