Here's one way to get cooking with wax.

Skill Level

Very Easy

Active Time

Less than an hour

Cost

Free

    Materials

  • Old, scratched-up LPs
  • Pot-holder gloves
  • Peanut or another oil
  • Cookie sheet

    Tools

  • Oven
 
1

Choose an LP with a colorful label. 

2

Clean the LP with soap and water; dry well. 

3

Preheat the oven to 350º. 

4

Lightly oil one side of the LP (peanut oil is preferable, but any oil will do). 

5

Place the LP oiled-side-down on the cookie sheet. 

6

Set timer for 1 minute and 35 seconds.

7

Put the cookie sheet into the oven and start the timer. 

8

After 45 seconds, flip the LP over so it heats evenly. 

9

When the time is up, take the LP off of the cookie sheet and begin molding, turning up the sides to create a wavy bowl shape. The bowl should not be too hot; if it is, wearing gloves does the trick. (Caution: Do not wear plastic gloves.) You have only 20 to 30 seconds of playtime to shape the bowl, so be nimble. 

10

If your bowl looks wrong, put it back in the oven for another 10 to 15 seconds. That will give you more playtime. 

11

If your bowl is still lopsided, put the LP back in the oven until it wilts into its original flat form and start again. 

12

The finished product will be smaller than you might expect. In-house research has shown that three bananas, one large apple, or four heads of garlic will fit into the average bowl.
