What device can I use to heat oil at less than 140F?

Question

Hi Everyone,

I am going to infuse oils with medicinal herbs and I am trying to find a device that would let me heat the oil and herbs between 100F and 130F. I thought I would use a crock pot but the minimum temperature for those is 150 and that is too hight for herbs. Does anyone have an idea on what to use? Thank you so very much!

Answer 1

use a double boiler and thermometer.  large pot with water in it,  smaller pot set floating  or resting on the edge of the first in the water.  It slows heat transferance and makes it easier to adjust the temp

Answer 2

You might find some success mounting a pot over a candle! You're going to need to have a thermometer, in any case.

Answer 3

Fire.
