I'll let you know how it works:-) I'll either be fine or end up with a ton of contaminated jars!!!! LOL (It's so nice when one can laugh about failure:-)

Thanks Again

Well I'm laughing now HAHAHAH!!!

For future refferences, don't try this:-) I knew that syran wrap would melt in the microwave so I only put in one syringe instead of all of them.

I turned on the microwave, let my puppy out to do his busniess, came back 4 minutes 30 seconds later to come back to a huge glob of heaping plastic!

I'm able to save the plunger and needle, but the actual syringe....well, sorry doctor, we lost it:-)

The reason I'm trying this is because my pressure cooker broke:-( Well...if anyone else has any ideas with glass syringes, please let me know.

I'm happy that you threw out an idea that I could use:-) As far as the idea not working there are many different factors to consider.

1. Syran wrap comes in different grades/thicknesses. Commercial or residential usually..maybe we used different types of syran wrap?

2. Microwaves are weird;-) Mine may cook stronger then yours or it's "high" function may be different.

3. I know that many plastics aren't great conductors of heat. SO, if you put in a plastic syringe it may not hold enough heat to melt the plastic? Glass on the other hand can get very hot!

So for whats it's worth, now we both know:-)

I do appreciate your kindness in offering me those syringe and prints but hey...if you don't try something you'll never know if it works. I tried it, and for me it didn't work;-)

Plus, I go by a line Dustin Hoffman said in the movie "Papion" - "Blame is for two people, God and little children, and you and I are neither".
