It damn sure is for me only. I don't want to dedicate my freezer to
spaghetti sauce. When I run out, I'll make more. The 8-quart pot is my
largest. I don't need bigger. I'm not Sheldon.

Yes, you're correct. Gas stove and I can turn it way down to the barest
minimum. My oven also works well as a dehydrator. I dehydrated a chopped
onion last week. You only get maybe a TBS or so from a medium onion.
Makes sense though as they are mostly water. It's very strong but much
sweeter than a raw one.
