E.6.4 Joule Cooking

A hot dog is impaled on nails connected directly to the 110 V AC line; alternatively DC can be used. Current passing through the hot dog will cook it in a minute or two. You can make the demonstration dramatic by putting the cooked hot dog on a bun with mustard or katsup, taking a bite, and handing it to the class to eat.

Bring your own hot dogs, buns, and mustard.
