This isn’t REALLY a bomb of course, it’s food. I’m also going to say that this is not really a great idea and I haven’t done it in years… anyway.. A long time ago in a kitchen far away. ok, it wasn’t a kitchen. It was a one room apartment wannabe that had, as it’s one culinary grace a small refrigerator in the corner with a similarly small microwave oven on top of it.

I destroyed prepared a lot of food in that thing while I was there and that’s when I discovered the “hot dog bomb” by accident. I had a frozen package of hot dogs and couldn’t wait for them to thaw normally so I figured I would just put the whole package in the micro and let technology do the work for me.

Well, I started it going by giving the timer a twist and promptly got distracted with something else and forgot about it. Suddenly I hear a pop, almost loud enough to be a small “boom” coming from the micro. I jumped up, shut it off and opened it to see what was destroyed.

To my surprise If found that the frozen package of hot dogs had not only thawed, but they had in fact cooked through and produced enough steam to burst the plastic package they came in. For several years after that this became my preferred way to heat hot dogs.

I had it worked out that on an average oven it took about two and a half minutes or so if thawed and three and a half to four if frozen.
