This can take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes, depending on how hot the chocolate was when the spoons were dipped in it and how thick that layer is. If you want to add any toppings to the spoons, do that before you place them in the refrigerator, or the chocolate on your spoons may not hold them together. To prevent the chocolate from melting, be sure to store the spoons in a cool cupboard or in the fridge. You can store them in the freezer, but the chocolate may crack and dry out if it is left for more than a few weeks unsealed. If sealed, the chocolate should last for up to a year. Keep the spoons in a sealed container if you choose to store them in the freeze to keep the chocolate from drying out.

Add one part acid, one part oil, one part aromatics and salt and/or sugar to taste. The following are excellent ingredients to use in marinades:  The best acids for meat are vinegar, lemon juice lime juice, Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce. If you use soy sauce, don’t add extra salt, since it is a main ingredient in the sauce. The best oils are neutral oils, like canola oil and olive oil. Granulated sugar or honey adds sweetness and also encourages a brown color and caramel taste. Use aromatics like crushed garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, ginger, bay leaf or steak seasoning. Paprika, chili pepper and jalapenos or other fresh peppers are perfect for a spicy, smoky flavor. Grab a spoon and taste a small amount. The marinade should taste good before it goes on the beef, since the majority of the marinade will stay in the first few cm of the surface. The enzymes penetrate the meat and help tenderize it if used for two hours or less. Turn the beef to coat it entirely. The longer the beef is marinated, the more intense the flavor will be.

If your oximeter is battery-powered, be sure to keep it charged. That way if you need it in a hurry, it will be ready for use right away. Inevitably your oximeter will get dirty from use. Keeping the probe clean is important for two reasons. First, dirt and dust can block light emitted by the oximeter and lead to inaccurate readings. Second, buildup of microorganisms on the probe can cause an infection when you put it on.  Use a lightly damp cloth or paper towel to wipe away dirt. Use an alcohol swab to kill bacteria and viruses. Make sure your oximeter is somewhere it won't get knocked over and damaged. If your oximeter is the plug-in type, make sure all plugs are out of the way and won't be tripped over. When unplugging a cable, you should always grab the plug itself, never the wire. This could damage the internal wiring and lead to a fire hazard.

One-sentence summary -- Keep the battery charged at all times. Clean the probe section of the oximeter. Store your oximeter in a safe place. Disconnect all wires properly.
