teonanacatl Posted January 7, 2006 you know that crust that gathers around the edges of the pan, what do you do with it? i normally add a bit of water and disolve it all again. as i was boiling down some plant extract i noticed the apperence of what appeared to be black turds, and they grew. i was curious so i tasted some and they were sweet, so its my belief that they are sugars that burned. anyone else got an opinion? kinda a random topic but its one of those things lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gomaos Posted January 7, 2006 sure I got an opinion... of course I wouldn't do this since it's some sort of extraction and probably illegal but a FOAF said that he quite often boils his ethnobotanical plant extracts down to a paste before consuming them as little rolled-up tablet-sized balls ... he says it definitely works... just beware not to burn the paste, that may harm the alkaloids (or whatever)....

Amulte Posted January 8, 2006 it depends on weather or not your using distilled or de-mineralised water if water at all. but most likely if using tap water you will get a crystaline deposit from around the edges of the pot/pan. altho somtimes, depending on tech used, it could be alkaloids but more likely mineral deposits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
