@MLE_online This thing looks like half of the machine from that episode of Rescue Rangers.

@fancybone I don't remember that machine or episode. What did it do?

@MLE_online almost as cool as that mains voltage hot dog cooker that BigClive tested that one time

@MLE_online Dang. I'm fascinated.

I read a few forum posts indicating that there are heating elements on the outside of the drum meaning you have rotating ~300f glass cylinder that you somehow have to safely extract to serve.

I had to find a video of it being loaded, this thing is so interesting.

@jonquass @MLE_online I mean, it seems simultaneously stupid and brilliant.

MLE_online, 18 days ago

@linux_mclinuxface @jonquass it's one of those ideas that seems like it belongs in the future and also in the past

@MLE_online @linux_mclinuxface @jonquass I used to have a Vitamix blender that you could cook soup in because it imparted so much energy to the liquid as it blended. That always impressed me.

Now, we have a Pampered Chef (convoluted events) blender that actually has a heating element, but the carafe is vertical. Haven’t used it yet, but it feels like the heating element is cheating.

@MLE_online ok, that is cool. Buy it.

@thestrangelet Nah. It's too expensive and too far. If it were either closer or cheaper, I probably would

@MLE_online It looks like a prop for movie lab where the next glowing drug is being created.

@dr_a in the best way!
