Hehe, this esteemed group doesn´t get tired of taking the meaning of
"contradiction" to a whole new level.

Most of my small mediocre Yixings have been cured Taiwanese style.
Cooking, freezing, cooking, freezing, ad nauseum, at least 5 cycles. I
lost one pot in the process, but I guess I would have broken at some
point in time anyway.
The funny thing about the last couple pots I cured this way is that I
did it in a street kitchen in Yangshou. I paid the owner a couple Yuan
to use his fireplace and freezer and went about my business. Happily no
crowds at that time, just one very bamboozled owner and a mad adept of
the dark sciences.
