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

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.
marius@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Also only about half the heat goes into the chicken and the other half into the hand used for slapping
thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Also completely neglecting that not all the energy in a slap will be transferred to thermal energy in the chicken.

And the phase change from uncooked to cooked.

Bro really wanted his chicken well done at 400°F
FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Naw, that’s burnt.
Maillard reaction where things brown starts at 350f.
More than 165/175 in the center and that’s dried out.
Klear@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
The mallard reaction is only relevant when cooking duck.
Graphy@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
If you spatchcock your bird then you’ve only gotta slap your cock to about 150°F at the thickest part of breast
froh42@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I saw you username first.
Then I misread the rest as a Mallard Reaction.

My man, if you slapped something at 32,000 miles per hour, you don’t have a hand to cook anymore :P
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
That’s something like mach 4.8 at sea level?
lemmie689@lemmy.sdf.org 2 weeks ago
Cook your hand too 😄
Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
Your hand would disintegrate long before you slap it enough to cook it

I confirm this as a physics PhD. I also understand exactly this thinking of assuming a system is in thermal equilibrium where it is far from it (like a chicken in am oven).
kameecoding@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Maybe they like their chicken fucking black
mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Well otherwise it has to stay at some 100 degrees for quite a long time to consider it cooked
medgremlin@midwest.social 2 weeks 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).

Lord have mercy on folks cooking their chicken to 400 F. Those birds will come out as dry as the sands of the Sahara.
Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
“well done steaks. if I see a speck of red, it’s going back. you better cook my food”.
Signed, a well done meat enjoyer.
head_socj@midwest.social 2 weeks ago
I mean, false equivalency, don’t you think? I have yet to meet an enjoyer of medium-rare chicken, probably because the Salmonella or Listeria already took them out
leftover@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
Yes that is about 2.5 times the recommended safe temp. I am not going the math though.
reattach@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Only ~40% higher - make sure to use absolute units when taking a ratio of temperatures.
kerrigan778@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
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.
insomniac@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
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.
meep_launcher@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
Speak for yourself, I love a good carbonized chicken
PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’ve read that bone-in chicken should actually get to 190°F as this is when the collagen renders, but Idk it was on the Internet so…
xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Shredded chicken it is
blarghly@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
And your hand
laserwash2000@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
The chicken has to exceed the boiling point of water for it to be cooked? Unless we’re making chicken caramels, I don’t think so.
zedgeist@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That 205C would just be the surface temperature of the chicken, not the average
lvxferre@mander.xyz 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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.
icelimit@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
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 2 weeks ago
Yes. I think, at these speeds, you have to model the chicken as a liquid.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
Just strap your hand open palm while riding a asteroid travelling at 10-20mps
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
But how do you get the chicken neck from the stratosphere once you’ve slapped it that fast?
Klear@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You start in the stratosphere and slap it down towards the Earth.
InnerScientist@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Better to slap it twice at half strength so that it’s cooked when you catch it.
0ops@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
Smh it’s like these people have never slapped a chicken before
random8847@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Lmao
BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
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?
AnalogousFortune@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
This guy engineers! Real world applications experience vs math
Courantdair@jlai.lu 2 weeks ago
At this point we have to consider the ambient temperature as well, as the chicken will slightly cool between two slaps once it exceeds it
shalafi@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Assume the chicken is spherical an in vacuum.
Saleh@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
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.
HiddenLychee@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago

Amir@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
You need a perfect transfer of the kinetic energy to the chicken for that to hold, not a slap
Heikki@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
In general, chicken needs to be heated to 74C or 165F for a few seconds to kill off dangerous pathogens.
Here is a list of other times and temperatures for chicken to be considered safe

PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
So has anyone who’s actually cooked a chicken before done the math? Because my guy just slapped this poor bird into pure carbon. Did he mean to do 205°F? It’s still too high, but it would at least be edible.

Also at room temperature, the average speed of atoms in the material is at 400 m/s, at least for a gas. That might give you a hint.

Hi there and welcome back to another episode of Bitch Slap Kitchen, where we cook food like it owes us money. Today we’re making some delicious backhand chicken.
Suspend a whole chicken in midair form some string or something, haul back, and swing at about mach 5, a little less. You’re probably not going to have any intact glass anywhere in your house and you’ll probably set off some car alarms in the shopping district but you’ll have a table ready main course in milliseconds.

sunoc@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
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:
