Baking Crystals


 

Baking crystals to restore them has been described on this and
several other lists but I can't find any details. I need to know the
temperature or at least the limit. Does anyone here know?

FWIW, baking is chemistry. Time and temp are critical. You must
correct for altitude. I have friends who think cooking is NOT chemistry;
they are wrong. At least basic cooking. Choice of spices, etc., are a
matter of judgement.
My brother (SK) was a fine baker, my mom (also SK) was a superb
cook. I am pretty good with fairly simple stuff.
Now off to din-din with a friend. Just Denny's, they give an AARP
discount.

"Crystal" glass used to have lead in it. Some question about whether
it came out in food.

A little research to remind me, "flint glass" is made with lead, the
lead forms an unbreakable bond with the other ingredients so can't come
out in food or drink. Glass generally is divided into "flint" and
"crown" glass, with defined optical properties dividing them. Flint
glass was originally made with powdered flint but later with lead which
gives great clarity to the glass and makes it sparkle.
