***DO NOT MICROWAVE - HARMFUL TO THC!****

wrap block in tinfoil and steam it - put it between two plates *the top one inverted to seal it in there) on top of a saucepan of water on the stove. leave it there for 45mins while the water is simmering. the heat from the steam softens the block evenly, making for more accurate cutting. use a hot knife to chop and mark the block into Os in advance so you can chop as soon as its ready - act fast before it cools.
