lol... well, here's what happened... I cooked it in a porcelain coated pot, then strained it into a magnalite pot. I put it back on the stove and grabbed a regular dinner spoon to stir it. While I was stirring, the dinner spoon touched the pot, and BZZZZZZZZZ!!!!! All I can figure is that the acid is strong enough to make one hell of a battery! I transferred it to a glass pitcher and got rid of the magnalite pot!
