I'd find that difficult to accomplish with normal sized-hands. IIRC you
have said in past that you have small hands. If so, then I bet video of
you using even a 6" chef's knife as a paring knife wold make a good
"highlights" reel.   BvP=

Answer for that problem is to invert a plate or saucer over the dish
and let the lava bubble and spatter on to the plate rather than the
sides and roof of the nukser.
