Re: Electric paste pot!?

[Michael Morin <ba202@FREENET.BUFFALO.EDU>]

I've used one to mix liquid solutions but have you actually made wheat
paste with one?  I recall that the material to be mixed need to create a
vortex and I think wheat paste would be too thick to mix with a magnetic
sturring bar.

Would like to know...

thanks
