The net reaction when using sodium bicarbonate isĬoc-H +Cl − + NaHCO 3 → Coc + H 2O + CO 2 + NaClĬoc-H +Cl − + NH 4HCO 3 → Coc + NH 4Cl + CO 2 + H 2OĢ(Coc-H +Cl −) + (NH 4) 2CO 3 → 2 Coc + 2 NH 4Cl + CO 2 + H 2OĬrack cocaine is frequently purchased already in rock form, although it is not uncommon for some users to "wash up" or "cook" powder cocaine into crack themselves.

Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3, common baking soda) is a base used in the preparation of crack, although other weak bases may substitute for it. SynthesisĪ close up of the "cooking" process that creates crack. Use of toxic adulterants such as levamisole, a drug used to treat parasitic worm infections, has been documented. Ĭrack cocaine sold on the streets may be adulterated (or "cut") with other substances mimicking the appearance of crack to increase bulk. Purer forms of crack will sink in water or melt at the edges when near a flame (crack vaporizes at 90 ☌, 194 ☏).

Like cocaine in other forms, crack rock acts as a local anesthetic, numbing the tongue or mouth only where directly placed. Also the clean up of the unit is great, because food particles on the cooking surfaces are not “baked” and “caked” on.Purer forms of crack resemble off-white, jagged-edged "rocks" of a hard, brittle plastic, with a slightly higher density than candle wax. Using the grates is great for keeping your bacon from curling. This is about my 5th base unit in 20+ years. The only thing I would suggest is that you remove the lid to a flat surface (that has air circulation) not store it on the provided rack that stores it at a angle, because the domes seem to crack from the stress, but last longer if stored as they fit on the oven). I use it to bake breads and cakes, both from a mix and from scratch (even made a bundt cake and angel food cake in it), fix dinner (some from frozen)and even reheat leftovers. I do find that it is great for two or three people, but not for cooking for a whole crowd, however, I have fixed a ham dinner for seven in the oven. I didn’t want to experiment with his stuff. In the last eleven years I have only used the conventional “oven” once and that was because I had never tried using the NuWave to make rice and my son was fixing dinner. I have used a countertop oven for over 20 years now and therefore use my electric oven for storage. The cookware is light and takes up less room than metal cookware, because it stacks nicely. I put dishes on a wire grid that is made for pizza. I use silicone baking dishes in the oven all the time. The plastic dome is light, so it is especially nice for those who may have trouble lifting. First of all, I like my Nuwave oven very much.
