If you put salt, pepper and butter on it - it taste like salt, pepper and butter, but has an interesting texture.

After I've gotten all of the leady goodness out it goes to the recycler.

Dump in trash then trash goes to the landfill. Someday a prospector will strike a rich vein of lead.

any results, kids here snort everything new market ? how's the effects ?

Seems like there's still a fair amount of lead in it.

Lead in the dross comes from 2 sources:
1. Pot lead not fluxed properly at a high temperature
2. Now, the biggie! Drill holes along the edge of your spoon. Any lead in the dross will drop back into the pot
My tuna fish can collects nothing but black oxidized particles of dross!

I remelt with the next large batch of Dirty Scrap Mixed lead and skim off the trash/Dross to get what lead is in there.

What he says. I flatten mine with a 5 lb sledge, sift all the non-metallic **** out and toss that. Then remelt with the new WW, flux and flux some more. The dross always gets added to a small dross pot to reclaim what lead is in it.

I use a fine slotted spoon that I sharpened the handle and embedded in a wood handle.

I save it for winter and put it in a small, heavy steel pot I have. I smelt it at very high temps in the wood burning stove. Te steel pot is usually cherry red. There's really nothing left after I scoop off the ash but near pure lead. It ain't much but it's enough to be worth the effort. I then add those ingots to pot the next time I smelt stick on wheel weights.
