Nov 17 2008Now That's A Good Dog!: How To Cook A Hot Dog Russian Style, Or, Alternatively: How I Died Trying To Heat A Wiener

haha sweet

hah ... wieners ....

first!!! and thats awsome!

first

lmao im on my psp right now!

only in russia lol reminds me of when stuck a led in the wall socket when i was 6 blew me across the room lol

He was probably in a pinch one day and then remembered one of his favorite torture methods, and decided to use it for less entertaining, but more practical reasons.

I think we'll be hearing about this guy winning a Darwin awards soon enough

In soviet Russia... hotdog forks you

@9 - LOL!

@7 Exactly what I was thinking.

Russians are up to no good these days. They always think that the Cold War never ended. After all, Russia has already been freakin cold since Gustav(my grandpa's talking nutsack) discovered it.

Who wants a burned wiener?

FAKE!!!!

This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell its fake because the shadows are all wrong.

It does look a lot like the scene where Max cooks a kielbasi with the ring voltage from a POTs line in the movie Never Back Down.

Some people have far too much time on their hands!

FAKE!!!!

Daisy's boobs are an obvious photoshop job. You can tell they are fake because the squishyness is all wrong.

Do the electrons flow through the wiener or only on the outside as they do on a wire? I'm not really interested enough to try this experiment at home. Maybe at work though. Hmmm. My office could use a good "burnin'-down".

Don't know about you, but now I am very hungry for a hot dog! :-)~

Plumps when you cook it, like a weiner should.

My science teacher did this trick in my high school science class. If I remember right the hot dog will glow green when the lights are turned out. The LED's will go off because of all the salt in the weiner That's how it all works. Pretty dangerous just for a snack. But whatever, it's Russia.

Somebody send the Russians a couple microwaves.

@15 - The current appears to travel through the entirety of the sausage. I"m basing my claim on the fact that LEDs like 0.7 v. The hot dog is about 6 inches long, so if the 220 V (AC) drops in a linear fashion, and guessing the leads are about a quarter inch apart, it would be roughly 10v per 1/4 inch segment. Of course putting about 10 volts across an LED without an additional load would pop it, so the current must also be distributed across the remaining cross section.

Or you could say, the hot dog will only cook where the electricity flows.

If you want to try this at home - it works really well, poke the electrodes into the tips, so the entire hot dog cooks. Also for extra credit, do it with a dill pickle, which lights up pretty good.

I did the same thing to my fun stick. I guess that's why I'm so mad at everything not me. {insert idiotic, rasist banter here}

@9 Darn! Beat me to it!

See what the world is reduced to with a nigger president! VOTE YES on the up and coming proposition 2012, removal of chimp from the black house soon to be restored white house.

You liberals have really done it this time.

This is playing god! Scoence gone mad!

McGloin should have a couple of forks stuck into his penis and let the cooking begin. Although, I'm not sure something of that size could even be considered an appetizer....

See what I mean? I just can't help myself! I don't mean to be a f*** tard but the total lack of man hood has caused me to post this inane bullshit. I'm sorry fellow geekologie readers. I know it's wrong, but I have a problem. Please forgive me for being the biggest idiot since David Duke.

He's got old school keyboard. Oh wait, its Russia! Never mind.

In Russia, everything is powered by snow.

Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud

@9....well played, @daisy....That is so fresh, Dont ever stop

the lights were red....predictable commie bastard

I got a million bucks says he weights less than you.

Experiment time!!

to all the first i beat you

I think this hot dog has prison tattoos....

@11
Don't talk about all russians, pleeeeease =)

@19
Hmmm... Don't worry we have 'em. I think he did that just for fun (like an experiment). And I like this idea )))

@27
Mmmmmm... "powered by snow" )))) ... but you know.... november and still no snow! >( I even don't know if I will use my snowboard this winter =(

Is it possible to cook my thanksgiving turkey in this fashion?

hes SHIT F*** eating cancer! BITCHH

LOL!!
could be USB!!

Dude thinks he's so creative. KGB was doing that ages ago. Except instead if a hot dog, it was a nutsack.

gotta try

I don't know how to feel about this.. Its inventive for sure, but f***ing stupid too.

We actually sold hotdogs made this way at a high school carnival back in the day. Lucky we didn't burn the whole place down, or electrocute that hot science chick I tricked into selling weiners...good times...good times

#9 shiiiit you beat all of us to it

In Soviet Russia, hotdogs eat you...

@20: the .7v are you thinking about the .7v transistor 'rule'?

The glowing I was shown wasnt a hot dog, was a kosher dill. Only certain brands and not all the pickles in the same jar worked (And glowed at one end only). About five seconds and we needed to turn the lights out to see it.

At 220Vac, and the LEDs being maybe 2vdc, I'd like to see whats going on there. I dont own a scope so I cant check it.

The entire hot dog will heat up, as hot dogs are already cooked, and would just need to be heated...and the distribution would even out quite fast...even if the frequency was very high and there was some "skinning" effect of the current (composition of weiner casing is different than the rest of the hot dog, so maybe not... a mix of meat isnt like a solid element) i think it would still heat fast.

A device was made like this in the 1950s. I bought it on eBay and sold at a rummage sale. I cant remember the maker. Was just a cord, two nails, and a bakelite stand.

Nothing original here.

Ok, I've tried it :P
It's pretty darn well cooked, but the LED's taste like crap =(

holy crap a cooked weiner! never seen one of those before!

I don't think I would want LED lights in my hotdog.

Mr. Wizard had an episode about that. Volume 2. OOOOLD news.

And annoying that it didn't show up at all in Bloglines.
