Nothin' Sez Loving Like Something From The Oven

Pick, pick, pick...it's in the oven, but you're right it is broiling.

I just want to make sure I'm following the recipe. I never cooked coins.

 

Torturing Zincolns is fun.

 

You should put a warning on your recipe for aspiring coin chefs: "Not Microwave Safe."

 

All of this talk of Lincoln being baked....is he staring in a Cheech and Chong movie I am not aware of?

 

Actually I have tried to clean ancient coins by putting one (only one) in a glass of water and microwaving it...the water just boils. If there are two or more, they want to spark!

 

Two or more make an antenna with a spark gap, and there's a LOT of power available to feed the arc that results.

Still not as much fun as the time somebody in the family put something in a plastic bag into the microwave -- without first removing the wire twisty-tie. Now, THAT was an antenna, and an arc!

 

And let that serve as a warning to all you aspiring coin doctors out there, you want to practice safe artificial toning!

 

Might as well, it'll be a million years before these are scarce. We'll be the Caveman cavemen by then
