I definitely agree with Storm Crow that it is dangerous to use plastic or aluminum foil! Also, from searching the net, I have seen many websites that recommend placing a drop of oil on an eating-utensil spoon and then heating the spoon from below via a candle or lighter. I think this might be equally or more dangerous as most flatware/silverware contains cadmium and chromium and nickel and many other poisonous metals as well as polishes and galvanized coatings, etc. I was horrified (and scared) to realize that some of these metals (such as cadmium) have melting points well below the temperature of a candle flame. People might be smoking their spoons instead of merely the oil (I tested this by seeing if a spoon will produce smoke when heated over a flame without any oil added and it did) Hopefully I don't have cadmium poisoning or metal fume fever.... but I am worried because I worry alot. Hot-knifing may even be dangerous as most electric stove burners heat to well over the melting point of some of these metals according to MSDS. Hopefully someone on here knows more about this subject than I, but either way this is not good.

Granny- I believe you have a vaporbros yes? Can you go into more detail about vaporizing oil over herbs as this was a bit difficult and I don't think it worked for me.
