The boil on my 20 litre urn is probably too vigorous and I lose a lot to evaporation. However if I turn the thermostat down it just cuts in and out but still boils with the same intensity, a very turbulent angry rolling boil, not a nice steady cruise rolling boil.
Is there anyway you can play with the thermostat, element etc to reduce its output and tame the boil a bit? I was wondering if an appropriate resistor wired in somehow might reduce the element from 2400 watts to 1800 watts or less, with a switch to do this once you've reached the boil.
