You'll see the reaction bubbling and then rising, and once it's really going, with giant bubbles developing in a semi-solid foam, you may turn the flame down a bit to keep it from overheating while it works. Use two lighters for the spoon and 3-4 lighters for the ladle for optimum results. Keep the flame down around 1/2' or so and see what distance works best for your heat source. Heat evenly along the bottom of the spoon, being careful not to overheat any one location. Sprinkle soda equally on top.Īdd distilled water, roughly 1 ml per half a gram of powder, drop by drop around the borders of the powder and a few in the center and stir until everything is wet and a white frothy mass forms with just a little excess water around it. Weigh out 30 percent of your stuff in soda (so 1g = 30%).įill a spoon halfway with powder, smooth it out a little, and draw a couple of channels in the center. To make the bowl flat on your table, bend the spoon.Ĭrush the gear as though it bumped the more refined, the better. You may accomplish this by holding the spoon or placing the scoop on the edge of anything, such as a table or bookshelf, and attaching it with duct tape or something heavy on end so it doesn't move anywhere. Ice cubes, a moist towel, and a cup filled with cold water Penny, knife, nail, or anything metal (pre-1982 are 95 percent copper after 1982 are 95 percent zinc, crack likes copper).Ī lighter, a torch, a candle, or a gas stove as a source of heat Water that has been distilled (or any clean filtered water, tap water last resort)īaking Soda (Fresh) (Must be sodium bicarbonate) Soup ladle or large metal spoon (anything metal with a rounded bottom) After the foamy response, you can cease cooking and collect the oil at any time, but the earlier you do it, the more contaminants it will include. For the cleanest, tastiest rocks, keep cooking until the water and oil are generally free of bubbles, sediments, and milky/cloudy things. It required a drop or two more water at first, then a little more once it became oil because the water and oil were still hazy. This cook was terminated just as the oil was cleaning away the garbage.

The end result was undoubtedly enjoyable perhaps it will be updated with a more perfected procedure in the future.

Video: While this video would not be a perfect cook, it provides a decent concept of the process. The goal of this post is to set down the basics in order to help others clearly. It is by no means the only finest or most efficient technique, and I welcome others with more knowledge to give comments, suggestions, alternatives, or corrections so that this discussion may be as beneficial as possible. This article explains how to use the tried-and-true spoon method straightforwardly.
