Hello again,

Yes, you are correct...

My setup used a copper tube that (if I recall correctly) had an inside
diameter of 1/2".

I rather doubt that I was producing steam at a rate (measurably)
higher than could flow through that tube.

I believe that I was putting steam at 212F into an oven that was 500F.

Also, this was in a gas oven.

As before, all the best,
