      This has to be one of the best chemical reactions
      Only ever done it at school (burnt through a heatproof mat) not much need for it in nutrition more use in welding railway tracks together unfortunately

      I think I probably did something similar at school as well. We used to put different elements together in Chemistry and test their reactions as they mixed! I loved getting the bunsen burners out 🙂
