General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: The hook seemed to need a (pictured) clause so I took the liberty of adding it. I prefer the second image, which seems to shows the crackling best, and so have normalised the nomination to show this in the usual place. Andrew D. (talk) 00:11, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
