You should try opening my heat treating kiln when it's been cooking at 1875° F.

Don't stand too close if you're wearing clothing made of synthetic fibers.

If the cold makes your dick shrink that shit's got to make it about ten feet long.

You have a wonderful mind

[–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 8 points 3 weeks ago

I think it'd melt into goo before it could manage that.

[–] typo@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

I had to look that up because it was familiar but I couldn't remember what that was from

I just hope that whatever is in there will never breach containment.

Oh man, I took a glass blowing course and the heat was crazy! Very glad I made sure all clothing was cotton before going lol

1023.89°C in non-freedom units

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, because two decimals of accuracy is very important here. The kiln keeps temperature that tightly controlled.

JUST shy of book-burning temperature (according to my learnings from reading Ray Bradbury).

Thanks, fellow metric user! Freedom units shouldn't have a place in this world

[–] froh42@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

I bake pizza at 400.

Celsius.

[–] nightwatch_admin@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So do I, but Kelvin. Takes me a while.

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 2 points 3 weeks ago

Great temp for some pulled pork.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Legit how you get restaurant-style blackened crust. Make the crust thin and bake for 3 minutes

[–] froh42@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I'm aming for Neapolitan style pizza, my electric pizza oven is OK, but sometimes I still wish I had a garden for a real wood-fired oven.

Both are arbitrary scales. People tend to prefer the one they grew up with. Yes, water boiling at 100°C is neat. No, that doesn't mean people who use Fahrenheit are wrong. Unless they're doing science, cause SI units are important (Zenon did nothing wrong)

Also, the meme is supposed to be both. Using the American (400°F preheat is normal) assumption of relevance (yes, it's a real thing) but then pulling the switcheroo and using an image corresponding to Celsius.

[–] observantTrapezium@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Both are arbitrary but only one is an international standard

I grew up with F, but now I'm all for C. It drives me crazy that the US (where I grew up) refuses to change.

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

The meme is clearly saying the oven is at 450°C, which is 723.15K.

With 450 °C your pizza should be ready in 30 seconds.

That's what pizza ovens run at and it takes about 2-3 minutes for the pizza to be ready. You can also get ones that go up to 500°C.

[–] ReasonablePea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

The pizza shop I worked at in college had the oven somewhere between 600-700 F

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 3 weeks ago

what pizza?

[–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We got an oven that has a stone fire pizza mode on it. It gets the stone up to 750F. Cooks our homemade pizzas in ~2 minutes. It's awesome.

550 minimum for pizza

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 4 points 3 weeks ago

450°R is cold as fuck, it's 41.7° below freezing duh, are you an alien?

[–] chemtrailenthusiast@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Where is this clip from? Reminds me of Sunshine.

[–] far_university1990@reddthat.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

If zinc melt your skin melt too. Amazing oven though can cast some cool figurine with zinc.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Oh, just like opening the front door in Florida.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

And if I reach for the pizza without oven mitts:

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

opening the wood fired pizza oven at 600F...

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I was gonna say it never bothers me then I realized I don’t set it that high.

But why? Is it necessary for frozen pizzas?
