Don't Buy Distilled Water. Save Money and Make It Yourself in 5 Easy Steps

[D.H.]

This article suggests making it yourself. I would not wish to bother doing this, given that distilled water is relatively inexpensive in the U.S.

Also, it would probably cost me more in cooking fuel than I would save.

If you live in a place where distilled water is unavailable or prohibitively expensive, you might want to try this.

Since anybody doing this would likely not be in the US, note that 180˚F = 82˚C, and 200˚F = 93˚C.

Parts of this I don’t like is the waste of electricity. If not for boiling process then for ice production.

This might work with our pellet stove but the mess of handling the water on the lid plus the wood floors would make it not necessarily worth it.

I do wish I had proper glassware to set this up on the stove but it’s not particularly neat either way.

Let alone the relatively huge amount of water wasted - and I'm not talking about its price.

I live where the water is very hard, use a filter for the water I drink, for my coffee machine, kettle, any cooking - and for some years now, have been using it in my APAP as well. That was after years of buying distilled water. It works just as well as the distilled.
