Scary cooking

Okay: help is at hand.

Dismantle the smoke alarms on your property (you do have smoke alarms, don't you?) and gather all the americium-241 into one place and mould it into a ball.

Hit the ball of americium-241 from at least eight different directions simultaneously with nine-pound sledgehammers.

Your Tesco 4 Vegetable Pies 568G will now be cooked. Unfortunately most of the surrounding neighbourhood will now also be cooked but that seems a small price to pay for the ability to enjoy your Tesco 4 Vegetable Pies at their very best.

HTH HAND etc

What a great NG this is. Always someone with the ideal solution.

:-)

Blame it on 10 years of Tiny Blair.

It always used to.

That link you have given says

"Not suitable for microwave cooking."

It doesn't say 6,200C is says 400F, gas mark 6, 200c

Now if Marshall's made gas cookers...

It seems like nobody quite knows what the CM of any Am isotope is. The figure for Am 241 seems to be at least 57.6kg, so with 0.28 micrograms per detector, you are going to need er.. ..A hell of a lot.

=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0850 Watt

Text error 400=B0F, Gas 6, 200=B0C

I declare it a non-ideal solution. You can get temperatures higher than that (apparently) quite easily:

I was pushed for time so raided the freezer for something to eat and a cottage pie type meal, I think it was M&S brand. Anyhow on the instructions it never actually said take this pie out of the metal tray before cooking in a microwave. I would have thought with all the health & safety these days that the directions would have been more specific. I have never tried it but I assume metal trays and microwave ovens dont mix.

Yeahbut, 200 deg 400 deg F

But you would need to turn them up to 11

Although on reflection - its not far off ;-)

True.

Gas 6 is often equated to 400 F which is 204.444 C. Given the gross inaccuracy of many oven thermostats, I'll forgive them. :-)

If you really thing 8 F difference is relevant to heating a pie, god help your family...

Any metal in a microwave is normally a bad idea. Even a gilt type glaze on pottery can put up quite a firework display (for a while).

Whole raft of videos on YouTube under "Is It A Good Idea To Microwave..." OWTTE.

And yet they supply a very-definitely-metal shelf-trivet-thingy with the damned thing - and some have metal rotating things. (Words are not coming to my fingers right now!)

So, whilst I am sure it is entirely understandable, it does seem to go against "never anything metal" to a considerable measure.

I think you'll find that is the final solution
