Yes, it's so dry here, the tips get so hard that they seem pointy at times. I did it once and that was enough to train Joey, he'll throw it at me until I microwave it. It's also the way I got my Ralphie to try them, this brings out the fabulous "aroma"
Like I said I just do the very tip, I boil less than an inch of water for 30 seconds then add the sticks and do another 30 seconds. Mine will chew theirs for about 15 minutes or so, and both of them want to switch, they never fight about it, they just each want the other's stick. Lol, Libby is the smart one!
