To keep the inside of a glue pot clean, (and to be able to make up small batches of fresh glue quickly and frequently - stewed smelly glue will produce a weaker glue joint) use glass jars appropriate to the amount of glue you'll need that day. Put the jar into the pot and pour in enough water to ensure you've got a water jacket, but not too much that the jar floats and tips over...

Here is a link to a vid that I found very interesting. There is nothing like a demonstration. Its given me impetus to try hide glue again as I probably have had the mix too thick in the past.
