O, M, high temps, and vacuum. Metal cookware too.

SWIM lacks the ability to post in the chemistry forum, probably for good reason. He's wondering what the effects of O and M are at higher temperatures (under 80C) and high-ish vacuums. SWIMs so tired of waiting for 3-4 hours while his cat cooks off only 500ml of liquid. If SWIM could put a vacuum on that thing, SWIM figures he could get a pretty righteous boil at 55-65C. Complicated, maybe, but it would also help SWIM experiment with some heating, cooling, and energy harvesting concepts he'd like to introduce into his house

SWISG has said over and over not to use metal for CFO. SWIM has followed that advice, it would help him out greatly to know why that is the case? What of that silicone stuff? That would help out SWIM a lot, to be able to just flip his cupcakes out of the nonstick pan.

Swiy doesn't want metal flakes being scraped up into the product, swim would assume. just use pyrex, cheap and they work.

This is the appropriate forum for your questions.

I was under the assumption that the presence of aluminum would interfere with the desired chemistry, perhaps by catalyzing an unwanted reaction.

This is indeed correct, if one is to use metal ware at all it should be stainless steel. Aluminum when it oxidizes pulls calcium from the water where present, causing a reaction with the morphine in the solution.

Hope this has been of help
