#2The kid in me thinks that this is amazing and I wish I'd have been able to do something similar -- but current me thinks about how I could never use that crockpot for food again.

They actually mentioned that the crockpot in question was brought home from a lab, and it was used specifically for cleaning biogoo from bones.
But otherwise, I totally agree on the ick factor. I'm a little surprised that a crockpot with detergent, and then hydrogen peroxide, is all it takes to sufficiently disinfect dead critter stuff.
(Then again, I toss raw meat in a crock pot and then shove it directly into my mouth, so I don't know why I'm surprised.)

I’m under the impression that that crockpot is only used for this purpose:
>She put all the bones into the crockpot that I brought home from my lab as well (which we keep for the express purpose of defleshing stuff that, well, still has squishy/hairy bits on it):

#5I was eating lunch with some co-workers around the time of the Boston marathon bombing a few years ago. One of the people didn't know what a pressure cooker was, and they were showing one on whatever news channel was playing.
Another co-worker piped up with, "When I was in 5th grade my mom used a pressure cooker to clean the bones of a dead sheep I found"
Intrigued, I had him finish the story. They lived in a farm area and there was a small sheep that had been hit by a car. He took it home, and they followed a similar process to clean the bones and he used some wire to put the skeleton back together for a school science project.

Ah! I must have missed that!
I feel much better now.

#7This is really cool on many different levels ! Those kids seem to have fun :).
Plus, it's somehow satisfying that the story is being told on a old-fashion (what am I writing) blog. I strongly believe it wouldn't have been as structured, as accessible if it had been told through instagram or facebook (too much noise, not enough authenticity (this is the media guy in me talking).
The gallery works, the text works... there is no noise on the page.

Farm food is way way less disease filled than wild food, so your last note makes sense.

#9Bleach works too. Found a small decayed deer carcass by the side of the road years ago and soaked the skull in water and bleach then hung it up on my porch. Hydrogen peroxide sounds more environmentally friendly.

I throw wild game in the crockpot and eat the heck out of it.
