I have a 34 liter Tamalera pot (The larger the volume the better a retained heat cooker works) that has the contents of a full pot that was boiling when it went into the RHC still at 71 Celsius (about 160 Fahrenheit)after 24 hours. I have been making bone stocks this way.

Archaeological evidence in Guatamala indicates it was done more than 3500 years ago. The process was probably discovered long before that.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-53008252167063721052015-09-03T23:34:45.626-07:002015-09-03T23:34:45.626-07:00Wow, what a palaver!

I often find that the first time researching and trying out a new process is always a lengthy process, in this case even more so because posole is not commonly made at home. I doubt I will attempt this while the kids are still young & time is so limited, but once they get older I can Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-42528673179335177152015-09-03T07:11:09.803-07:002015-09-03T07:11:09.803-07:00I guess I made it seem like a lot of work, but the...I guess I made it seem like a lot of work, but the work was really in figuring out a process that worked for me. Now that I've got the process down it's quite easy. It takes time but not a lot of active work. There's only 4 basic steps - simmer, soak, clean, cook.

I make corn tortillas all the time, but I buy my masa. It would be interesting to make them all from the corn you grew.

It reminds me of my s-i-l trying to make lye from wood ashes so she could make cold process soap, except that she was not successful.
