Thanks so much Hanz for going to the trouble of putting a tape over your pristine pot. Checking against my earlier Pro Melt, it appears the depth has shortened a tad ( older pot @5" deep ) and the diameter has increased a little. Probably only amounts to about 1/4" or so but at least its in the right direction. I will be interested in your feedback on this unit as , of the options currently available to me, this appears the most suitable. Guess I'll just have to order one then.
.. Gary, I'd be thinking the appearance in the photo is just due to the perspective given the close proximity of the camera making the bottom seem smaller.
.. thanks again Hanz.
