Cooking With the XBox 360

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hot-enough-for-ya dept.

Mr_Congeniality writes "Someone by the name of 'Brett' went all-out to prove how hot the XBox 360 can really get. So hot, the heatsink boils water on contact, but not only that, it can make a delicious meal. Be warned though, this video may not be suitable for those with weak stomachs!"

    Egg white coagulates between 144 degrees F and 149 degrees F, and the yolk between 149 degrees F and 158 degrees F.
    That's around 65 and 71 Celsius.

    Having a PC heatsink at over 75 Celsius ain't that much of a big deal, why would an X-Box be any different ?
    If the temperature of an object you come into contact with is 149 degrees Fahrenheit, it would take about 2 seconds to cause a third degree burn... that's about as much as you'd need to start "cooking" the eggs too.

    So... scary-looking, yet absolutely normal.
