Good one....:thumbup:

A pack o' 'job dogs' is a time honored tradition , the 'trick' is to not blow them up btw.....


I wonder how long ago this piggy went to market AT.....:laughing:

So you cruise old threads on Internet forums?

 

Came up when I was cruising Google for something unrelated, thought you guys might like it. My apologies if this offended you. :jester:

 

Take one standard-issue extension cord, and cut off the female end. Strip the black & white conductors and apply a generous amount of solder to the stranded copper.

Presto. Same principle.

 

That made me laugh :laughing::laughing:

I wonder if it would work with bacon too :thumbup:

 

I did this when I was a kid watching Mr. Wizard. A fork stuck in each end and alligator clips supplying power.

You really need a material that won't corrode for the electrodes. I wouldn't use stainless because hexavalent chromium is a byproduct of stainless steel electrolysis I think. Gold contacts I guess.

I actually wouldt have thought that far :laughing::thumbup:

 

We made something like this for an open house when I was in first year electrical school. Housing made of Plexiglas, with a limit switch wired in series so it would only work with the lid on. It was pretty slick, actually.

But that was probably before the Nannystate moved in and heroically began protecting us from ourselves.

 

Those Presto Hot Dog Cookers were pulled from the market a couple of years after being released. People had an unfortunate habit of forgetting they had plugged them in and they would start fires. Cooks the hot dog in 60 seconds, turned it into a flaming pork sword in 120 seconds. I had one, I liked it at first.

That, mixed with the explosion of pot smoking in the 70s when it was released, was a really bad idea. They tried lowing the voltage and putting a controller on it to automatically turn it off, but then microwave ovens came along and nobody needed it any more, so it died a natural death.

 

How did it cook taste wise?

 

Ok......How many Engineers does it take to cook a Hot Dog....?:laughing:~CS~:laughing:

 

as to how they cook just think electric chair!
originally the hot dogger was a great tool but too many kids got nailed .
ive seen some people make homemade ones that worked good but ended up with metal poisoning from using coated nails without cleaning them.
candidates for darwin awards for sure

 

Two forks and an extension cord in a pinch,lol [emoji12]
