My mag stirrer/hotplate has arrived!

Note that it is in the regulation labware blue. I know that @rotuts will appreciate this.

At high speed it adds to the kitchen feng shui with a happy burbeling(sp?).  Worth it for just this.

I foresee warm and gently agitated sauces.

Well.  This is very cool.

If you want to dissolve stuff in it you do

 

I've managed for this long with a spoon, whisk, or as my father used to do with his martini, his finger.

some things don't dissolve easily, so you could be there stirring for a while.  When I mix hydroponic nutrients, I use a submersible pump in the reservoir to stir the water - makes life a lot easier - but that's for making 30 gallons.  If I only did a liter or so, I'd use a magnetic stirrer.

 I'm glad your dad didn't take it any farther than that.

When I set up the farm, I'm coming to you for advice!

He tried once with my martini, but I put a stop to that!

 

My father had lost the tip on his first finger in a press accident when he was in his 20s, working at his uncle's plant (the uncle who invented the underwire bra, as a matter of fact).  So guess which finger he used to stir?
