"pan" out? Get it? Ha ha ha. Now to the actual important things. What if I wanted my secret-formula pot roast done in a minute? By your math: Pot Roast normally cooked: 325º for 180 minutes = *whips out calculator* 58,500 something-or-others. 1 minute method: (roughly) 41,600ºF x 1 min = Pot Roast. Let's get a comparison: Hottest temp on earth ever: 143º Melting point of Lead: 327.7º Surface of Venus: 863.33 Melting point of Iron: 2,800º Surface of the Sun: A balmy 9,941º Temp at which flash combusts immediately: 1,217º To sum it all up... BURNT POT ROAST!! Something doesn’t seem to pan out about all of this…ha ha ha…a good one right? “pan” out? Get it? Ha ha ha.

Now to the actual important things. What if I wanted my secret-formula pot roast done in a minute? By your math:

Pot Roast normally cooked:
325º for 180 minutes =

*whips out calculator*

58,500 something-or-others.

1 minute method:

(roughly) 41,600ºF x 1 min = Pot Roast.

Let’s get a comparison:

Hottest temp on earth ever: 143º

Melting point of Lead: 327.7º

Surface of Venus: 863.33

Melting point of Iron: 2,800º

Surface of the Sun: A balmy 9,941º

Temp at which flash combusts immediately: 1,217º

To sum it all up…

BURNT POT ROAST!!

Where do you live, Great F? I need to come, um, talk strenuously to you about this! --anonymous submitter who is not witherow (ignore the avatar) Oops, I applied your principle, turned my oven up to 700 degrees, and my house burned down.
