Get a flame tamer, or make one.
All you really need is a collar to get the pot a bit away from the heat- if
you have a smith nearby, s/he can make you one. Where are you? I might know
someone who'd do the job.

One possibility might be to use the little collars that come with REAL (not
flat-bottomed) woks, depending on the size of your pots.

You really ought to have something that you can use for very low heats- low
heats are very useful for some cooking techniques, contrary to the beliefs
of many males, who think that it will cook faster if it's on "high" ;-)


Saint Phlip,

 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.
