Making Diamonds in the Microwave
Joe Champion Recipe
[Do not do this experiment without competent adult supervision!]
STEP 1
Using a Pyrex microwave cooking dish with lid, place two
charcoal brickets covered with 4 ounces of peanut butter inside.
Microwave on high for 60 minutes at 10 minute intervals.
STEP 2
When cool enough to handle, take the dish outdoors and place
on top of an unlit barbeque grill. Remove the lid form the dish
and saturate the charcoal and residue with charcoal lighter
fluid. Light the charcoal (Note: At this time the diamonds are
made, this procedure is reducing the excess carbon to ash.)
STEP 3
At this time you should have a dish full of a gray/black
soot. Carefully scrape this soot into a dark colored dish and
gently wash. The ash will wash away leaving the diamonds you've
produced.
If you decide to experiment with recipes other than the one
above, do so with competent adult supervision and in extremely
well ventilated areas or outdoors. Joe Champion has released the
recipe above due to its safety and lack of possible toxicity in
