If you want to maintain a specific temperature, such as 60°C, while boiling water, you'll need to use a heat source that allows you to control the temperature precisely. Here's a general method you can follow:

  1. Fill a pot or a container with water.
  2. Place a thermometer in the water to monitor the temperature accurately.
  3. Heat the water using a stove or a heating device that offers precise temperature control. Induction cooktops or sous vide machines are examples of devices that can maintain specific temperatures.
  4. Gradually increase the heat until the water reaches the desired temperature of 60°C. This process may take some time, so be patient and monitor the temperature closely.
  5. Once the water reaches 60°C, adjust the heat source to maintain that temperature. You may need to experiment with the heat settings to find the right balance.
  6. Continuously monitor the temperature with the thermometer and make small adjustments to the heat source as needed to keep it stable at 60°C.

It's important to note that boiling water at 60°C is below the normal boiling point of water, which is 100°C at sea level. At 60°C, the water will be hot but not boiling. If you want to achieve a rolling boil (100°C), the process will be different, and you'll need to increase the heat until the water reaches its boiling point.

Remember to exercise caution when working with hot water and heat sources to avoid accidents or burns.
