Candybee, thanks for this great reply.
I do sell a lot of M&P. I read about rice cookers but wasn't sure if they need to be watched and stirred, but if you made so much a day in yours it sounds like it may work for me right now for 30-50 pounds a day .
I will get to CP as well as some point, but right now I have 2 blind dogs and have constantly "redirect them" and they take my attention away from what I am doing so it wouldn't work.
