Using North Korean spray bar technology I cooked one in an all clad slow cooker along with an entire 30lbs of manzanita driftwood and it turned into this:

Cram an appropriately size stick in there, boil it, and then use that stick to straighten it out properly. Allow to cool off and it should be okay.

That is, as long as you take proper precautions regarding the leeched toxins.

"That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works !!"

If you don't boil it properly in a Teflon coated pot, everybody is gonna get unfriended.

We covered that to a great extent. This is how dangerous those chemicals are.

On the serious note, do you have any actual scientific studies that you base your statements off of? If so, please link them. I would be interested in reading them.

Noooooo, dont do it! we've already covered what will happen when the stick and the spray bar are boiled in the same pot!
