    Yeah yeah we get it, Newton will fry your hand and pls don’t cook a chicken to 205°C core temp.

    BUT! What kinda math major forgets Newton AND the fact that you won’t convert kinetic energy into heat with 100% efficiency?

    Gotta love how everyone forgot about Newton in all this. Enjoy your instantly well-cooked hand, which is also made of meat.

      My man, if you slapped something at 32,000 miles per hour, you don’t have a hand to cook anymore :P

    A guy on YT actually tried it experimentally a few years ago (how many slaps, not how fast one slap); and it works to some degree! The main problem becomes to make a slapping machine that can survive long enough:

        This slap question was a big meme several years ago, and when that video came out (years after the meme), it was an instant hit.

        The fact that this discussion is still going shows how popular it is

    As your friendly neighborhood person with knowledge about food and cooking, 2 pounds is an absurd weight for an uncooked rotisserie chicken, that is a very small and cooked weight, 4-6 pounds is going to be typical. Also, more importantly, you cannot cook something faster by increasing the temperature past a pretty quick point, meat is an excellent insulator. No slap can cook the inside of a frozen chicken unless the entire chicken disintegrates.

      Also, if you cooked it to 400 degrees it would be disguising. You just need to cook it to 165. This guy might know about physics but he has never cooked anything before.

    Typical physicist, ignoring enthalpy of phase changes. Starting from 1C defrosted makes a huge difference from 0C as the melting takes up a ton more energy/slaps. Their underslapped chicken would give you salmonella

    source
    • untorquer@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      They haven’t considered rate of slap. Significant heat transfer to environment even at 10 slaps per second.

      They’re also assuming sea level standard atmospheric conditions. You may need to reduce rate of slap at altitude.

      source
      • marius@feddit.org ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Also only about half the heat goes into the chicken and the other half into the hand used for slapping

      Well otherwise it has to stay at some 100 degrees for quite a long time to consider it cooked

      source
      • medgremlin@midwest.social ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        You need the chicken to be 165F or 74C to be food safe. It takes a long time to cook at 100-200C because the heat is being transferred much slower. If we’re using this instant slap-based cooking method, it only needs to get to the food safe temperature.

        Using the OP’s calculations and a cooked temperature of 74C:

        It would take 8315 average slaps

        or

        A slap at around 756m/s or 1691mph (numbers are rounded to whole integers).

        You need a perfect transfer of the kinetic energy to the chicken for that to hold, not a slap

      That 205C would just be the surface temperature of the chicken, not the average

      • lvxferre@mander.xyz ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Who was this written by, a Brit?

        Nope. Likely an American.

        When cooking, people in general like to use round numbers, like “200°C”, since a difference of 5°C in oven temperature is not a big deal.

        And yet they went with some oddly specific 205°C. That only makes sense if they’re used to Fahrenheit, eyeballed a round value (like 400°F), converted it into Celsius (204.4°C), and then rounded it up to discard the decimal.

        I’m also going to say they’re completely clueless when it comes to cooking - 200°C is the oven temperature. The chicken itself reaches a far lower temperature, in the 70~80°C range. By the time the chicken reached 200°C, it’s already dry and close to catching fire. (The self-ignition temperature for biological stuff is typically between 200°C and 250°C.)

      • laserwash2000@sh.itjust.works ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Are you sure? The numbers in the tweet talk about total mass and heat capacity. So I think that means the entire bulk has that average temperature.

      Single slap assumes all kinetic into heat, which isn’t. Alot is lost to the slap sound, alot more is lost into the Flying bits of pulverised chicken bits.

      • General_Effort@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Yes. I think, at these speeds, you have to model the chicken as a liquid.

      I think we should put more consideration into the fact that slapping the chicken this much will dissipate a lot of energy into deforming the chicken.
