I did a boil yesterday which was my best and hotest of the season found out when I drew off that my thermometer is sticking and I was way over syrup. I saved the batch on the finishing pot but I've got stuff stuck on the pan both sides, it's only a one divider pan. After pushing my syrup out with fresh sap I used the heat of the sap and a spatula to scrape off the most of it. I haven't checked this morning to see if it loosened up overnight or not.
2 questions. How do I clean it up if it's still stuck on? Do I need to toss the sap in the pan or can I drain it out and filter out the guck that comes out the draw off then put it back in the cleaned pan?
Wow there's a lot to learn about this and it seems like every evaporator has it's own idiocyncracies.
