I Googled resistive heating and...<link> |
|
| |
But they only used 120V, hardly a //massive jolt//. Must be in some third-world country where the electricity grid is only half running. |
|
| |
I wonder if there's a category for culture:food:
cooking:lightning ? |
|
| |
There is, it simply hasn’t been added to the ’Bakery list yet. |

[MaxwellBuchanan] A good link, with a great last line: "This
will in no way make it unsafe to eat the hot dog. You should
feel free to invite a student to enjoy it" |

[marked-for-deleshun] pun. [+] |
|
| |
One of the spoof ads in the Kenny Everett Video Show was for "electric meat - just plug it in!". |
|
| |
Just what I need for my Utility Muffin Research Kitchen.^(TM) |

s'pretty good pun, and answers the question of why it hurts when he pee-ee-ees. |
|
| |
Not only a good pun, but a reasonably effecient means of cooking. All the power is turned to heat inside the item to be cooked, so very little is wasted. |
|
| |
The voltage used to cook would have to be adjusted for the individual item. A lightning bolt would simply burn a narrow track through. A lower voltage (therefore lower current) will cook more slowly and evenly. |
|
| |
Q: If an electrode were inserted in either end of Jimmy Swagger, what voltage would be required to achieve full cooking in 30 minutes? |
|
| |
What we need now is a Captain's Bee-fart idea. {+} |
|
| |
I'm sure we've all seen how to make a battery out of a lemon. |
|
| |
The question remains, though: how many lemons does it take to cook a hot dog? |
|
| |
//A lightning bolt would simply burn a narrow track through.// |

| |
I imagine the dogs will occasionally explode in a scalding mess. So face shields and heavy aprons will be necessary attire. |

My aunt had an electric hotdog cooker like in [xandram]'s link. That was in the late '60s, and it looked a bit more modern. I don't recall it cooking well or being useful (same goes for my aunt). |

A Telefunken U47, for the rest of us ignorants, is a large microphone with a metal body that would nicely encapsulate a hot dog, and would contain the flying shards after the dog is vaporised. |
|
| |
".. And the hot dog blew up later on the next day .. " |
|
| |
Two sides of that hot dog will act as a capacitor, and it will store the energy, and give a strong jolt back to the person eating it. |
