    There was just a thread about this a few days ago with many suggestions. Btw, don't use your home oven if you do it yourself..

    I ran into that, but from what I rmemeber it was more on where to get it done. Could be wrong on that...

    I ran across this, seems like a popular choice for somebody doing it at home.

    I have never seen one. Besides you DO NOT want to find something hiding in ANY food here. It tries to kill you as it is, don't add some piece of paper someone wrote on and stuffed into a cookie. It's a goalof mine NOT to bring anything back ;)
