Oven Logic	comment	Whenever someone is strapped for time and needs to cook something, they will assume that the time and temperature listed in the recipe are inversely proportional; logic a Straw Vulcan would be proud of. For example, they'll assume a cake that needs 30 minutes at 200° Celsius (or 392° Fahrenheit) to bake can be baked just as well in 15 minutes at 400° Celsius (or 752° Fahrenheit), never mind that a normal kitchen oven won't go that high. Expect there to be flames, plenty of smoke, and for the Lethal Chef to pull out something resembling a forest fire from the oven. Or occasionally, a fireball that destroys the entire house, with a perfectly baked pie in the middle of the debris. Various examples show the oven dial go up to thousands of degrees. One has to wonder why the oven had a dial that could go up that high if it wasn't meant to be used that way. A subset of the horrible cooking skills of a Lethal Chef. This has probably been Truth in Television for some of us at one point in our lives. Also, notice that some processes do behave according to Oven Logic; milk pasteurization, for example, can be done in 5 minutes at 70°C, or in less than 3 seconds at 150°C — though again, the reduction in time is disproportionate to the increase in temperature (and doing it faster changes the taste by caramelizing the milk sugar). The biggest mistake most people make is believing that degrees is proportional to temperature, ie going from 100 to 200 degrees results in twice as much heat. This is not true because neither 0 degrees Celsius nor Fahrenheit indicates zero energy, or absolute zero. To find out how much you have to increase temperature by to actually get double thermal energy, you need to use Kelvin or Rankine. That said, the rules in cooking (and chemistry) are still a bit more complicated than heat x time, which the character is not privy to — there are several factors to the equation that the "cook" in question fails to consider. The rate of heat transfer is not proportional to the temperature of the oven, but to the difference between the temperatures of the oven and the food. Since the temperature of the food changes over time, you'd need to have a firm grasp of differential equations to be able to predict the time required at higher temperatures... or enough experience to cook "by feel", of course.note Broadly speaking, the time and temperature factors have to be such that enough heat will reach the interior of the food to get it to a cooked state when the outside of the food is nicely browned. Too high a temperature and the inside will still be raw when the outside is done; too low, and the inside will be overcooked and/or dried out when the outside is done. That's not even counting the effect on chemical kinetics, which will greatly increase the rate of reactions such as oxidation (burning) at high temperatures. (The general rule of thumb is that every 10°C increase around room temperature roughly doubles the rate.) The chemistry of food can also be affected beyond simply being burnt beyond recognition. For example, many fruits and vegetables contain a fiber compound called "pectin" which helps give the food structure (it's what gives crisp fruits such as apples and vegetables such as cucumbers their "crunch" and what helps some sauces and spreads set and become solid.) Pectin begins to break down above about 185 degrees Fahrenheit (roughly 85 Celsius,) so most people interested in canning and preserving learn early on that if they try to heat their food much above that temperature, their "crispy" pickles become mush and their strawberry jam ends up as soup. This trope is also a type of Logical Fallacy. May be a result of using algebra on cooking-related Applied Mathematics. Not (directly) related to Fridge Logic. The more extreme cases will require our chef to use Tim Taylor Technology. See also Mismeasurement. Contrast Instant Roast.

Mr. Fargus explains how this is going to help the microwaving process of popcorn go by all the more quicker. Mr. Fargus turns on the Microwave-ception and, unsurprisingly, this causes a nuclear explosion, which launches him across the room and slams him into a wall.

Oven Logic / int_27b0262b	comment	MythBusters tried examining various extreme ways to pop popcorn, one of the ways tested was explosions. which either fling the unpopped kernels around, burn them or both. They did, however, discover that you could pop popcorn with lasers, one kernel at a time. This trope was also explored when Adam and Jamie tested a viral video that involved firing shrimp from a cannon to have them collide with the batter and fly through cooking flames before landing on the plate. As Adam summates at the end of the episode, even the use of several swordsmith furnaces doesn't cook the shrimp, as you also need time in addition to heat, which the shrimp don't get when they pass through the furnaces in less than a second. This is why many other examples of this trope fail the way they do, as the way the heat is absorbed through the food is arguably more important than the heat itself. Outside the world of cooking, when the words "Kinetic Energy" are spoken by a Mythbuster, there is a good chance of some oven logic coming up, where they trade mass for speed or vice versa, thinking that it's okay because the kinetic energy comes out the same, while ignoring that it throws other relevant values out of whack, such as Inertia, Momentum, Impulse, etc. Getting hit by a multi-tonne freight train crawling along at a few inches per week is not the same as being hit by a supersonic bullet weighing just a few grams, despite identical kinetic energy. A sterling example of this came from the (multiple) tests and retests of the "Frozen Chicken" myth (i.e., testing aircraft windshields for birdstrike ratings by firing chickens out of an air cannon). Yes, a thawed chicken has the exact same kinetic energy as a frozen one. . . but the frozen one is much harder, and so has greater penetration. . . exactly what the myth was all about.

Oven Logic / int_7c038c18	comment	Phineas and Ferb: Played for Laughs in "Moon Farm." While on the moon, Ferb relates a recipe for "Lamb Cobbler" to Phineas, who relates it to Irving, who relates it to Candace and Stacy. The ingredients get messed up in the typical "telephone" manner (e.g. "One pound of lamp" instead of "lamb,"), and the cooking time is 350 degrees for one hour. With only five minutes to spare, Stacy declares "It's simple math!" and proceeds to cook it at 9,000 degreesnote Which is slightly more accurate than most examples, as that's approximately twelve times the absolute temperature of 350 F. It comes out perfectly, in defiance of any sort of logic. "Bad Hair Day" has Candace sitting under a hair restorer after a disastrous attempt at styling her own hair. She's supposed to sit under it for an hour at setting 5, but Jeremy says he's coming over in 20 minutes, so Candace decides that 10 seconds on setting 20 will do just as well. After all, "they wouldn't put a 20 on it if it weren't meant to be used, right?" This resulted in her hair being fixed, but over the course of her date, she grew enough facial and body hair to resemble an orangutan.

Jan is a skilled chef, but because he was raised alone by his grandfather, he has no idea how to cook for more than five people. When he starts working at the Gobancho restaurant, he tries to cook vegetables for fifty people by taking the recipes his grandfather taught him and multiplying all of the quantities of food by ten. The end result is deemed a failure. He realizes his mistake later: all of the additional vegetables add too much water and make the dish too juicy.

It works: His house is instantly filled with popcorn.

Kaz comes dressed up and pretending to be a critic and the girls must find something to cook in order to get a good review for the "restaurant." The girls keep trying to cook different things from a recipe book and one recipe had a baking time of 18 minutes at 200 degrees but because they were strapped for time, Yumi suggests baking it for 2 minutes at 1800 degrees. She tries and the oven melts as a result.

Strapped for time and without having anything else to serve up, they decide to prepare a turkey dinner (which the non-Cloudcuckoolander of them notes would take about 5 hours to prepare) by stuffing it into the microwave and trying to do the job in about 15 minutes. The result is predictable.

The resulting goo isn't very appetizing on its own, but it turns out to be fantastic as a pizza topping. Note that this is almost a valid cooking method, as he could have made a smaller recipe if he reduced each ingredient by 1/4 of its original amount, but subtracted when he should have multiplied. Close, but still so wrong.
