Remove the bowl and carefully place on a counter or table surface. Be careful as the water will be extremely hot. Once the bowl is set, drape the towel over your head and lean over the bowl keeping your nose at least 6 inches (15 cm) from the water. Slowly inhale and exhale for 5-10 minutes. Repeat as often as necessary. A warm washcloth can be used to reduce pain.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you don't already have an iodine solution at home, you will need to purchase a tincture of iodine. These are available at most pharmacies and drug stores, as well as online. While most iodine solutions have an orange tint, some are clear. Be sure to buy an orange solution so that it shows up on your skin. You may need to ask for it at the counter since iodine is sometimes kept behind the counter or in a glass case. Using a cotton swab, create a full square of iodine on your inner forearm. The square doesn't need to be precise in terms of shape or dimensions, but it should be conspicuous. If you do not want to put the iodine on your forearm, you could also put it on your abdomen or inner thigh. Be sure to let the iodine dry for at least 20 minutes before covering it or letting it touch anything since it will stain. Check the patch every 3 or so hours to monitor how long it takes to disappear. If the patch is still fully visible after 24 hours, you likely don't have a deficiency. If the patch disappears or fades significantly over 24 hours, you may have a minor to moderate iodine deficiency If the patch disappears in under 18 hours, you may have a moderate to severe iodine deficiency. The iodine patch test can help indicate if there may be a deficiency, but it's far from a diagnostic test. If your patch test indicated that you may have a deficiency, see your doctor for a proper diagnostic test and management options. Depending on the severity of your symptoms, you may want to consult with your doctor even if your test didn't indicate a deficiency. Especially if you notice you have an enlarged thyroid, it's time to make an appointment with your doctor.
Summary: Purchase a tincture of iodine. Apply the iodine in a 2in (5.1cm) square on your forearm. Monitor the iodine for 24 hours to watch for any color fading. See a doctor for diagnostic testing.

Line a deep, rectangular baking pan with aluminum foil, then grease with cooking spray or butter. It will be easy to cut the cake into whatever shape you like, but you can use specially shaped containers if you prefer. There is no baking involved in this recipe. The containers do not have to be oven-safe. You can skip the foil, but the cake may stick to the pan. Melt 3 tbsp (45 g) butter over low heat. Use a heavy-bottomed frying pan or skillet. Or combine butter and marshmallows in a large bowl, then microwave. Microwave in three 1-minute bursts, stirring in between. Pour in 5 cups (250 g) mini marshmallows. Continue to heat and stir until they have melted completely. Skip this step if you used a microwave. Take the frying pan off the heat. Pour in 6 cups (150 g) crispy rice cereal and stir until all of the crispy rice is well coated. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking pan and press down. Let cool to room temperature, or until marshmallows have solidified. If you want to sculpt the treats into a certain shape, cover with plastic wrap and press down until quite firm. The sticky mixture is easiest to handle with a greased spatula, or with clean, slightly buttered fingers. Sprinkle the treat with nuts, candy, or edible glitter. For a birthday cake, spread store-bought or homemade frosting over the top. You can cut the dessert into bite-size pieces, one-person chunks, or leave it as one cake.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Add all the ingredients to a medium bowl. Whisk everything vigorously until you have a runny sauce that's smooth and glossy. You can use sherry as a substitute for the Chinese cooking wine. To make the recipe suitable for vegetarians, substitute hoisin or mushroom sauce for the oyster sauce. To store the sauce for later, transfer it to a glass jar with an air-tight lid. Make sure there's enough head room in the jar that you can give the sauce a good shake. Store the sauce in the fridge. Be sure to shake the sauce vigorously before each use. To use the sauce, cook your meat, vegetable, or noodle stir fry. Mince a clove of garlic, half an inch (1.3 cm) of fresh ginger, and a hot chili. Place them in a small bowl, and whisk in the stir fry sauce. Just before serving the stir fry, add the sauce and toss to coat. Cook the stir fry for an additional minute, giving the sauce time to thicken. Use about 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of sauce per two-person stir fry.

SUMMARY:
Whisk together all the ingredients. Transfer to a glass jar. Add the sauce to stir fries.
