IronBass Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 When buying presto pouring pots, the ones I have bought in the past always has the pouring spout to the outer edge. I understand this is to miss the heating ring that goes around the outer edge. My question is,,,, does the heating ring just go around the outer edge or does it start in the middle and coil to the outer edge. I would like to make a 10 quart pot and put the pouring spout in the middle of the pot if possible??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 It was put there to keep it heated and not freeze up. Putting it in the middle of a large pots might be a problem if it is to far from the heating element. Unless you could heat the valve some other way. And no the heating element is only in the raised area under the pot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronBass Posted October 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Thank you Frank, I would need a heated valve or heat band on the valve, Thanks for response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Exactly one or the other. You will have to find a valve that can take the heat too. No plastic in the valve. Even the handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanmc Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 The problem I see with a valve in the middle of the pot is having to reach under the pot to activate it. As for hearing the valve, I use the heating element from a glue gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the mold. You need to raise the pot somehow anyway if you put a valve on it. Edited October 13, 2021 by bryanmc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
