Mobile Cooking: Cook an Egg with Mobile Phones

Well this is certainly an innovative cooking method, and I'm not sure if it's one I'd try, but don't let me stop you from having a little fun. I found a way online to cook an egg utilizing two mobile phones. Yep, that's right - you can cook with your phone!

To get started, you'll need two mobile phones with activated service. They can be on different networks, etc. Next, you'll need an egg cup. Whatever you do, make sure that the egg cup is not made of stainless steel or any other metal (bad things could happen). Instead, find an egg cup made of an insulated material, such as plastic, wood, china, or glass. You'll also need an AM/FM radio and a flat surface.

To starting frying up your egg follow these steps:

1. Get a fresh egg or one from your refrigerator and put it in the egg cup in the middle of the table.

2. Get your radio, turn it on, and set the volume to a comfortable level.

3. Get Phone #1 and put it on the table so that the antenna is about 1/2" from the egg.

4. Get Phone #2 and call phone #1. Then, place phone #2 on the table on the other side of the egg, with the antenna also facing the egg and about 1/2" away.

5. Answer phone #1 without moving it from its position on the table.

Now don't hang up either of the phones. Allow them to sit there "talking" to eachother - this is how the egg gets cooked. Cooking time may vary from phone to phone, and largely depends on the power output of your phones. To give you an idea, if both phones had an output of 2 Watts, then it would take approximately three minutes to cook a large free range egg. You can check your phone's manual to see what the output is, and adjust times accordingly.

When you think your egg is done cooking, turn off both of the phones. Remove the shell and enjoy your mobile-cooked egg!
