How likely is that thing gonna catch fire when the meat render out the fat 🤔

[–] neo@lemy.lol 34 points 7 months ago (2 children)

A grease fire in an electric toaster? Nothing a bowl of water couldn't cure. /s

(/s because it would explode and could electrocute you at the same time)

It's best to submerge it completely. A bathtub is the easiest option for most people.

Why would it catch fire in a toaster but not under a grill where there's an actual flame?

You'd never get that toaster clean again, but I'm not sure it would catch fire.

FYI, the fat dripping from steak does actually cause flare ups and sometimes even sustained flames in grills. This isn't dangerous in a grill because it's designed to cook with fire at high temps. But it can ruin your steak if you aren't paying attention.

Would a toaster get hot enough to render fat?

[–] Taiatari@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Luckily the picture shows a bad idea in progress but has not followed through and in my head canon they took the meat out and put it into a frying pan.

Thank you for spelling "head canon" correctly. I'm tired of all these comments putting pictures of people with cannons for heads in my brain.

God damn it. Now Amazon thinks I'm in Germany.

Instructions unclear, dick got golden brown grilled in under 5 minutes.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Did you use thin sausage or thick sausage setting?

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Thick, but it was a mistake of the ego.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Other than the fire hazard, I don't see the problem.

The meat being suspended gives it an even dry heat. Cooking both sides simultaneously should result in an even cook equivalent to constant rotation.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It’s unlikely that a toaster would be able to produce even remotely enough eat to make this worth your while.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago (2 children)

You underestimate the power of my toaster. Just like I do every morning when I burn my toast.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah. Like you said earlier the fire hazard would be the main problem. All that fat melting to the bottom where bread crumbs have been gathering for years. Eventually something will catch fire and burn.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

There's a little knob, or slider on your toaster where you can adjust the toast level. Use it!

[–] Zier@fedia.io 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

When you said "hot meat", I expected a very different scenario. :(

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] Zier@fedia.io 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I meant something sans clothes.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The judge said I am not allowed in Chili's when nude.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well, there is always TGI Fridays or Applebees.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Banned from TGI after an unfortunate incident with my tamed German and Applebee's lawyers didn't appreciate my discrimination lawsuit after I was kicked out and arrested for bringing in my emotional support emus for a 10 top.

Waffle House knows how to run a restaurant, I recommend them highly.

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I have never seen clothed chilis.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

The only thing spicy I expected was a naked dude with some "hot meat". [wink wink]

[–] thefrankring@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not sure if complete genius or complete idiot.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yeah, this seems like it might actually be brilliant, until the grease catches on fire underneath the steak. I think we need to invent this thing, with a grease capturing mechanism. I'll see if George Foreman is interested in making another $383 million dollars to promote this thing. Nice!

So stupid it's actually brilliant
