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!"

  1. Three Red Lights of Death? by lpangelrob · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The 360's not even a year old... I'm assuming the Lights of Death aren't a widespread problem? I would have read more about that on /. by now if it was widespread. (No, I don't own one.)

    The video isn't really worth watching, even if it is hosted on YouTube. Just another "cooking on electronics" example.

    I start the day with Brain Age (Me: 32, My Brain: 23) and then my DS teaches me cooking... :'-)

    ..is it dishwasher safe?

  4. Re:Out of warranty ? by QuickFox · · Score: 3, Funny

    I doubt the warranty covers using the heatsink as a stove.

    Damn Microsoft and their draconian license restrictions.

  5. Re:Heatsink is supposed to be that hot... by tibike77 · · Score: 3, Informative

    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.

    Ok, no need to mod me up. This is not informative at all. I just wanted to take this post away from karma wh**es ;)

  7. How do I get on Slashdot? by CrackedButter · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'll cook some scrambled eggs off a heat sink from the xBox 360. How do I get to look really stupid on Slashdot? By using a metal fork! Well done.

  9. Poor Sony by FreakyLefty · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'd like to see the PS3 do this. If Sony's offering can't make me a bacon sandwich then I'll just have to stick with Microsoft for all my culinary needs.
