My first thoughts are:
1. Where is the thermometer in the pot, that it continues to register 218 degrees?
2. How heavy is the pot you're using? A thin pot is not good -- the stuff in it is more likely to scorch.
But for the best help, I'm moving this to Baking Questions, where the folks who REALLY know can see your question.
