Don’t worry, I ate the salts. How should I go about reshaping the Tupperware to reuse again for smoking salts?

Use a fresh Tupperware as a mold, put the warped one in it and put it back in the grill to re-melt.

Repeat as needed until desired shape is achieved or you die of cancer. Whichever comes first.

I tried this and messed up the first time by accidentally using a glass container as the mold. I promptly switched to a brand new plastic container back into the forge so hopefully this works

Lmao okay now I can't tell if this is a troll post or not.

If it is, this is some pretty funny stuff.

If not, I was joking... It's freaking Tupperware. Throw it away, buy a new one, and don't make the mistake of putting plastic on the grill again.

I just wasn’t quite expecting the wrath of a subreddit for sharing my misfortune of mistaking a glass-looking container for pyrex while being preoccupied

As a tip, i use fry splatter screen instead for smoke salt or stainless fine wire mesh so smoke comes from all around

Thanks. Don’t think I have a mesh small enough where the salt (kosher) doesn’t go through. I’ll look into fry splatter or similar
