Looks like an interesting book and it's cool that you wasted no time in putting it to the test.<br /><br />Manggy: I agree with Rob that alcohol would be best but another option, depending on the intended use, might be a flavored oil or nice, fragrant nut oil followed by a gentle cold water rinse. That way any residual oil would at least be tasty.Tri2Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781214300077457797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398221400738351120.post-67678220340884965182009-05-27T15:58:19.770-07:002009-05-27T15:58:19.770-07:00I think the lab grade stuff would be better - the ...I think the lab grade stuff would be better - the idea is that the alcohol will dissipate so don't even mess with the oil.Gfron1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09293609846439667977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398221400738351120.post-18509843233509897382009-05-27T08:03:25.726-07:002009-05-27T08:03:25.726-07:00Mm-hmm, you just had to break out the illegal spir...Mm-hmm, you just had to break out the illegal spirit to make that awesome chocolate nest! I wonder if ice-cold neutral oil will do just as good a job (I realize water will seize the chocolate, right?). The nest will be gross and greasy, but at least I can find it here! :)<br /><br />(How about laboratory-grade absolute ethanol?)Manggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977929776424593762noreply@blogger.com
