Generally the slow cooker is called for in order to get a controlled temperature source. A boiling water bath is a controlled temperature source, and one that has been used in culinary arts since ancient times... however, it has one setting: 100 degrees Celsius / 212 degrees Fahrenheit.Virandell said:I want to use boiling water from kettle and make a hot bath instead of slow cooker it should work right ? Is just for safety reasons? And if anybody was doing like that how long took evaporation process ?
DreadedShaman said:I mean for evaporation heat just helps, generally the more heat there is the faster things will evaporate. You could put a fan on it at room temp and it'll all evaporate, it might just take a while.
Again, please evaporate solvents in an area with lots of fresh air flow. I liked the suggestion of using your stoves fume Hood (assuming it vents outside)

I think the whole point of a slow cooker, at least in cooking, is to cook the food at a temperature below 100 degrees Celsius. So a boiling water bath will be hotter than a slow cooker usually.
