Title: Nuclear fusion! Well a hot oven anyway
Post by: ootini on April 07, 2011, 03:30 PM
Just a thought. You know most of us struggle to get ovens hot enough to cook certain things properly, i.e. Naan. Has anyone ever tried using the Pyrolitic cleaning function on a modern oven. Apparently it cranks the temperature up to around 600*c and carbonises all of the gunk n crap in your oven. Now I'm thinking half way through a pyrolitic cleaning cycle, couldn't you chuck your naan dough in for a couple of minutes? Or is this suicide?

Hi

I don't have that function on my oven because it is sh*t. Its not even a bloody fan oven <shakes fists at the sky>  :(  :'(  </shakes fists at the sky>

My parents do though, but it locks its door when activated so you cannot open it :(

Good idea though!

Not necessarily; I have definitely read of someone who has overcome this, and who has also succeeded in disabling the temperature-limiting sensor so that his over reaches circa 900C !

I reckon at that kind of temperature you could use his Electric meter disc as a record player too!

I've got a Chef's blowtorch (http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/public/_sRbSIadpeRWJlwz0BRNRUqlTiSH5AnEDGyt6ksLTSz3irj824j5Nse_UGj2nuA3pYRcYXv1uWMxIXsI_jbBVei_Fcf2O5UNkQJ8sDlJmEs7u4be2x2Eev1NF5iUtenMVJSByA-fe3IepDgwp-sixiZL), if that is any good !  ;D

I wanted to test the blow torch hotgun theory out but had run out of gas. Since then, i've given up as Paratha are so much easier to make.
 
900c Phil, was that farenheit or celicius?

Mmmm, I think that the "C" in "900C" means "Celsius" ..... !

Stephen, i'll have to try it out. :)


Phil, had to check, people often mistake the two and simple say 900c when they mean 900f.

Ah, they'd be the ones from the Arts stream (when we still had streams at school) !
But having said that, I cannot find the citation of 900C of which I was thinking : the hottest I have found so far (http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?/topic/103127-hacking-pyrolytic-ovens-to-utilise-high-heat/) is 560C (1000F), so there is a distinct possibility that I may have mis-remembered the units  :( :( :(
