More On The "One Pot" aka "Shake & Bake" Method Of Making Meth

In Etowah County, Alabama, the Gadsden Times reports:

• More methamphetamine labs have popped up in Etowah County in recent weeks, and drug agents believe the increase is linked to a new cooking method. The "one-pot" or the "shake-and-bake" method is quicker and easier and is producing a more pure form of meth, said Scott Entrekin, spokesman for the Etowah County Drug Enforcement Unit. [...] The method of cooking began appearing almost a year ago in some states and has spread to other areas, he said.The meth is cooked using one "pot," usually a 2-liter drink bottle. [...] "It's dangerous because it builds up pressure," Entrekin said. If the pressure isn't released periodically during the two to three hours it takes for the meth to cook, it can explode.
