How to make a dish from a vinyl record:

2. Place record over a metal bowl and place in oven.
3. Let it heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
4. You can watch as it begins to change shape.
5. Remove from heat and place into larger bowl.
6. Use a dish towel and shape the bowl as needed.
7. It will dry quickly.
8. If it is not the shape you want, you can reheat and try again.
9. DO NOT USE AS A DISH TO EAT FROM---SERVING is okay----Use as serving dish with foods that have skins or coverings.
