LS taking 3 days or more to cook

[cmzaha]

When I make my ls I use 80% water percent of oil weight and a -13 superfat. I bring it to a thick trace on low heat in a large stainless pan (except for today when I opted for the smaller pan and volcanoed it), take it off the heat and let it get to a paste then in the over for 4 hrs @200 degrees. Usually 4 hours does it although today mine took 6 hrs

That temp needs to be higher, more like around 180 to speed cooking along.

I don't like taking the temp too high for fear of destroying oil quality.

None of those oils are going to get to smoke point at less than 200 F.
