Question:

Can I bake a polymer clay covered barbie?

I know certain plastics can produce harmful gas when burned, but what about if it is covered in aluminum foil, then oven bake clay? The doll has no hair, and will be completely covered in clay with no parts of the plastic doll directly exposed to the heatI am mainly using the barbie as a inner mold because I have cubital tunnel syndrome and cannot sculpt with my hands for a long period of time, and I need this done within the next few weeksI also have a ceramic kiln, but never tried Primo clay in it before as it is such a low temp clayI thought maybe if I just lowered the temp to maybe 200 and baked for a longer period of time, it would be okSomeone suggested coating the barbie in a plastic high temp spray for like outdoor grills, but I don't know anything about that kind of thingAnyone have any experience doing this? Thanks!

Answer:

You need a food steamer! you can cook virtually every kind of meat, and vegetable in oneGet one with three levels, and you can cook your whole meal in 30 minutes without even being in the kitchen!
- Breaded fish or chicken - Buy frozen veggies and just pop them in the microwave - Uncle Bens 90 second microwave rice - Make fried rice - put some cooked rice and fozen mixed veggies and chicken on the skillet and fry up - Burritos - put rice, chicken or pork or beef, corn, cheese, black beans, and salsa - Hamburger or Chicken or Tuna Helper - Pasta with chicken or sausage - Breakfast dinner - BLTs - Add chicken or lunch meat to a grilled cheese Hope i helped:)
Okay take Chicken Breast an or Pork Chops, Place in a roasting pan in a can of Cream Soup,( Mushroom , Chicken Etc) peel 2 potato, 2 carrots , sliced in 1/2place in pan on top , Can use a chop onion also, S P put the lid on place in oven 350 for 40 mins, Now you have supper, cooked for 2 nights, or 1Mmmmm so good
Here are a couple of very simple recipes for you to make after a long days' workI need to preface this with your grocery shoppingBuy some chicken parts (whatever you like - thighs, breasts, etc.) and pork chops when you go grocery shoppingWrap them in saran and place in zip lock bags in individual portions you will want for dinnerFreeze themThen, when you get home from work, take out two (since you said both), take a can of cream of whatever soup (mushroom, chicken, celery, etc.) and place the soup and about 3/4 can of water in a potStir the soup until the water is mixed inThen add your frozen meat and turn on the burnerWhen it comes to a boil, turn it down to a simmer, cover it, and cook for 30 minutesIt will be done perfectly in that timeframeIf you use thawed meat, it may dry out but frozen works perfectlyServe with some instant rice (if you have it - that takes apx 5 minutes to make after your water boils)Make earlier in the week a mixture of chopped lettuce, radishes, celery, and carrots and put in a zip lock bag - don't press the air out - you want the air in the bag to keep it freshThen you can dole out however much salad you want for each mealIt will last about 3-4 days before starting to turn brownDon't put cucumber or tomatoes in it in the bagAdd them just before servingHope that helpsYou can also take that salad base, top it with some cooked shredded chicken, diced apple, cranraisins, toasted pecans, sunflower seed, and pine nuts, then add a little Feta cheese and serve it with Raspberry Vinaigrette (Knotts Berry Farm makes a good one).
It's hard to say, I've baked mirrors and plastic ball point pens before with polymer clayi would bake it lower than 200, see what the melting point of plastic is :)bake it lower and longer:D
