    Is there a proper way to reheat an crucible in which the metal has
    been allowed to harden? If this were a pot of hardened pitch, I have
    been taught not to heat it from the bottom - for fear of creating
    pressure under a cap of solid pitch. Is this similar? Does Karen need
    to be careful about the way she reheats her crucible full of hardened
    metal? What is the right way to do this?
