thermostat

[Schaible, David]

Pyrex glass is suitable for boiling water applications....do it most
work days....thermometer is recommended to see what temp it opens at if
it does open.....larger issue as phil says is being whipped ;-)....but
until you can correct that, boil it in the pyrex

Yes--IMO it needs one or _both_ of the following:

(1) Demand some "pot privileges" fer gosh sakes! Explain to your wife 
that your thermostat is certainly more sanitary than most any of the 
food items that typically go into the kitchen pots. Well yes it might 
have a bit of toxic contamination, but that anti-freeze is completely 
water soluble and will thoroughly rinse clean under the faucet in a 
few minutes.

(2) Your testing method really ought to make use of a thermometer. An 
oven (or a roasting) thermometer will nicely handle the temperature 
range of interest--hopefully these are not forbidden tools. ;-)
