A certain somebody was telling me that when distilling sassy, the temp wouldn't go above 80C under vacuum, even with the hotplate on high. (Using a 500mL RBF immersed in peanut oil in an anodized iron flat bottom pot on the hotplate.) He thought it was the used hotplate, but conditions didn't improve even with a brand new hotplate. The hotplate was tested to heat water in the iron pot and the temp of the water reached 100C so...any ideas as to why the setup with the peanut oil isn't doing the trick?
