FAQ:

Q: How long can I simmer the pot safely?
A: You can let it simmer for 2–4 hours, as long as you keep an eye on the water level and never leave it unattended.

Q: Can I use a slow cooker instead of the stovetop?
A: Absolutely! A slow cooker on low setting is a safe, energy-efficient option that also helps retain the scent longer.

Q: Is this safe for homes with pets?
