# Cooking Bioplastic

This is one of my dumber experiments. I simply put a sheet of bioplastic (Ag15) in a pan on low heat for half an hour. The results were interesting - the bioplastic shrank a lot and became discolored. It also lost a lot of strength and became thicker, while at the same time becoming smooth and cold to the touch. \
