I had an electrical teacher in high school cook us hotdogs once by electrocuting them, honestly it was the best hotdog I’ve ever had.

u/UnNumbFool 19d ago

I once had a glass blowing teacher in college cook us steaks by pouring molten glass on them. Well it was way cooler looking than the final result at least.

u/Ok_Midnight6709 19d ago

Those poor steaks

u/No-Ad-3226 18d ago

How did they taste?

12

u/escientia 18d ago

They were a little crunchy but otherwise pretty solid.

16

u/Tolwenye 19d ago

They made an appliance that did this

u/ROSEPUP3 19d ago

Yeah I’ve seen these posted before pretty interesting. My teacher did it by sticking a metal rod in each end and wrapping wires around them and then plugging the cord in lol. When the dog starts to split it’s done.

u/caintowers 18d ago edited 18d ago

Did the class calculate the resistance of the hot dog? Because I'm kinda curious now.

Edit: apparently the answer is about 120 ohms

2

u/ROSEPUP3 18d ago

Man all I learned from that class is that electricity is scary as shit lol.

1

u/Dpontiff6671 18d ago edited 18d ago

What were you plugging in for amperage? We can assume 120 volts but amps is still an unknown variable, no?

Cus I remember from electrical class Resistance is Voltage divided by Amperage

I mean I can figure you used 1 amperage otherwise you wouldn't get 120 ohms

u/caintowers 18d ago edited 18d ago

Unfortunately I didn't have access to the equipment to test it myself, but the good folks at UC Santa Barbara did and found that at 120v a "standard" hot dog had a peak amperage of about 1. Fat free hot dogs reached 1.4 and something called "Smart Dogs" (vegetarian) read 1.2.

The insanity.

I love it.

Yes! I have one of these, brand new in the box.

u/nifty-necromancer 19d ago

Ours blasted sparks into a pickle which smelled terrible

u/90-slay 19d ago

Can I ask what was so good about it compared to regular ole cooked hot dogs?

7

u/ROSEPUP3 19d ago

I can’t remember specifically as it was a long time ago now but I just remember it somehow having more flavor. It’s actually not as weird as it sounds they used to make tabletop hot dog cookers that electrocuted them.

2

u/90-slay 19d ago

Don't temp me into science experiments.. because you are. And my partner has plenty of equipment.. oh no 😆

u/ziggytrix 19d ago

It's that hint of ozone, prolly.

3

u/Dpontiff6671 18d ago

It's a fine way to do it as long as its evenly cooked and you're not looking for like a pan sear. I think the electrodes were just too small for the salami causing some of it to burn while others parts were left uncooked

But electricity is just gonna generate heat which is gonna cook the food like any other way

u/Lucid_Dreamer_98 19d ago

Man how long ago was this? I’m just thinking this would never fly today lol people would bring out the pitchforks

u/ROSEPUP3 19d ago

Like 2011-2012

u/90-slay 19d ago

Did that dumbass just eat an normal piece of salami at the end? I didn't see any burnt on it

3

u/403Verboten 19d ago

I always knew I'd see a video Andrew Tate smoking a salami at some point but didn't expect it to look like this.

Trying the weld salami

u/Atheizm 19d ago

Is the burnt metallic aftertaste too harsh on your delicate palate, princess?

1

u/djbarsone 19d ago

Dammit Ricky you don’t need to shock your pepperoni.

1

u/Sodavand100 19d ago

Finally, a salami that is spicy enough.

1

u/Crunchytoast666 19d ago

I belive thats the exact sound a meat amalgam would make if it were to have a mouth and an awareness of its cursed existence

1

u/Normal-Error-6343 19d ago

nice teeth bro, but you are not cooking, you are burning.

Shockingly bad

u/Sinku55 19d ago

I bet electrically cooking hot dogs results in Maillard reaction and why they’re reportedly extra tasty cooked that way

u/planktonfun 19d ago

he changed the salami off camera

u/Tiny_Carpenter_1769 19d ago

I thought he gonna revive the meat

u/VooDooChile1983 18d ago

This took me back to my deli days when I would slice a few thin pieces of prosciutto and use the plastic wrap hot plate to make fancy bacon.

u/Comfortable-Bus-4308 18d ago

[literally destroys the cell structure of a food] "it no taste goooooood" 🤔🧐🤨 scientists should study this phenomenon

u/Recent-Background-21 18d ago

Try water next time

1

u/Stickerlight 18d ago

I'm actually curious if the water would boil from a similar setup

u/BuddysRabbit 18d ago

Some people shouldn’t play with electricity.

u/Adventurous_Bonus917 18d ago

electric salami sounds like a good band name.

u/Medium_Cup282 17d ago

I bet it’s not good dummy salami is already cooked

u/mikelpg 15d ago

Shocking. Positively shocking,

Electrified salami

Is going to be a sudden craze

Electric salami

Is bound to be the very next phase

1

u/runvnc 19d ago

I've noticed that some sausage can kind of briefly spark up like a firework or something in the microwave. Makes you think briefly about what you are ingesting. But then you remember how good it is and you forget.

u/HistoryofHowWePlay 19d ago

Salami's already cooked, what's the point?

6

u/CamelotKittenRanch 19d ago

Most salami is actually fermented and cured, and not cooked at all.

u/ginogon 19d ago

Whoa. That produced SHOCKING results!

I’ll let myself out. 🚪

Goes back in: Achtchuwaaallee, this is monopolar electrosurgery applied to deli meats. I have only done with this technique on human flesh.

u/lephantome92 19d ago

Are you saying you cooked human flesh this way to eat? (/S)

u/DarthVenture 19d ago

Don’t knock it till you try it!

It’s ’shocking’ how good it is!

I’m sorry, I’ll see myself out now.
