re: How long? 07/20/2008

It usually takes less than 2 minutes. I recommend hanging around and watching it shrink. It's fun to watch and you'll also get a good idea of when it's finished.

how long? 07/20/2008

I am curious to know how long the plastic should stay in the oven? I'm just looking for a ballpark figure...does it take about 3 minutes to bake or 20? Thanks! This is a great idea :)
