Hello;

I believe that what you are looking for
is a super saturated solution of 5ml water
to 50g of sodium acetate trihydrate.

You will find that verified here:

" Put the 50 g of sodium acetate in a
beaker, and then add the 5 ml of water.
Heat gently, and stir until dissolved.
Use a small amount of water to rinse
down the inside of the beaker. Remove
from heat, and wrap in foil. Let cool slowly. "

The rinsing is to remove any crystals
which might trigger the phase change.

It is an interesting heat storage medium.
