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. |

Kate & Allie had an episode where Allie wasn't going to be around for dinner but prepared it in advance, leaving instructions to put it in the oven at a specified temperature for an hour. Not wanting to wait that long, Kate decided to double the temperature, thinking it would then only take half as long. Cut to the next scene where Kate is scraping the burnt dinner into the garbage, while her daughter, Emma, ate a slice of the pizza they wound up ordering. | |

Family Guy Fanon: "How Farg is Heaven?" has Randall Fargus showing off his newest invention he calls "Microwave-ception", where he microwaves a bag of popcorn inside of a small microwave and has that microwave inside of another microwave and that microwave is inside of another microwave, etc. until the thing is inside of five different microwaves. 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. While this is at first Played for Laughs as they laugh at Mr. Fargus' classic mishap, it's then Played for Drama when Mr. Fargus reveals he got colon cancer from the experiment and ends up dying from it. | |

One episode of Care Bears has Mr. Beastly watching a cooking show, which at one point directed him to put a bowl of cookie dough in the freezer for 30 minutes — "or the Deep Deep Freeze for 12 seconds!" We never know just how bad Mr. Beastly's oven math is, though, because apparently he fell asleep waiting 12 seconds. When he wakes up, the bowl is encased in a solid block of ice. | |

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. |

Dennis the Menace: In "The Great Pie Swap", after Dennis, Gina, and Joey accidentally wreck a pie that Mrs. Wilson set out for Mr. Wilson, Dennis decides to cook a frozen pie to take its place. Gina reads the instructions on the box to Dennis, which say to cook the pie at 250 degress for half an hour. Dennis decides to cook the pie at 500 degrees so it will only take fifteen minutes. When the fifteen minutes are up, Dennis finds the pie burnt to a crisp. He then says "No wonder my mom told me to stay away from the stove!" | |

Calvin and Hobbes once decided that making twenty individual pancakes was too much work, so he just poured in all the batter, so as to make one big pancake and then cut it in halfnote Note that an oversized pancake can be successfully cooked, to a certain degree, but you're gonna need a bigger griddle than you would use for twenty individual pancakes, and after a certain point you'll have a hell of a time trying to flip it. It should also be noted that when he added the eggs, he didn't bother removing them from their shells. | |

Kyon: Big Damn Hero: Kuyou takes Mikuru's cooking advice about the importance of the proportions between ingredients at face value, a misconception that led her to think she can achieve good results if she simply works at a scale more comfortable for her perception and powers as long as the proportions are respected. Long story short, in Chapter 57 she tried to make a cookie six-point-five times as big as the planet Jupiter in this manner. Apparently, at this scale the gravitational field generated by the cookie's own mass interferes with the baking process. | |

In the Discworld of A.A. Pessimal, one of the few male students to take the Assassins' Guild School's Domestic Science coursenote Despite the best intentions of the staff, including a senior teacher who points to the paradox of 90% of the great chefs all being men, and who believes all people should know how to cook a few dishes well, not just the girls, take-up is almost exclusively female, is research-minded Assassin A.C. Clarke. Arthur is obsessed with what he calls the "macrowave oven" — a means of cooking complex time-heavy dishes in minutes, even seconds. Teacher Joan Sanderson-Reeves puts a very definite stop to that line of thought but concedes it could have explosive uses. Joan then gets hapless student Hermann Meier Wetterarscht, who opted for Dom Sci as an undemanding three hours in the warm, in a class which was almost all girls. Wetterarscht, while trying for brioche and ciabatta, ends up recreating something akin to Dwarf Bread, causing an oven to collapse under the weight and then implode. Joan was not pleased. | |

A tie-in Red Dwarf 'official log' contained a recipe for a curry that is supposed to be left to stand overnight and slow-cooked for some hours before eating. Lister annotates it thus: "Smeg that! Life's too short. Bung it in the microwave for five minutes on Thermo-Nuclear; that's what it's for." Of course, given that he'd already upped the spice content by a couple of orders of magnitude it couldn't have made things much worse by that point. | |

In an Honorable Mention from Darwin Awards, a chef was cooking an alcohol-enriched fruitcake at 200 F in the oven, when his father dropped by the kitchen. Noticing the low temperature setting, and thinking to speed up the process, the father dialed the heat up to 350. Before the son could finish turning it down, or a verbal warning that "alcohol burns", the cake flamed out, blowing open the oven door and singing his forearm. | |

The show MANswers, a show designed to answer "manly" questions, posed the question "What else [besides an automobile] could you put a HEMI engine into?" Their number 1 answer: a "HEMI grill", which could cook 240 hot dogs in 3 minutes. Whether or not this invokes Oven Logic depends on whether the engine is there to increase the grill temperature or speed up airflow. | |

In the AstroLOLogy short "Aries Whips Up a Disaster", Aries attends a baking class, but lacks the patience to make his dish properly. When the time comes to bake the class's bowls, Taurus sets them all to bake for 20 minutes, but Aries sets his bowl to the highest temperature for 30 seconds, causing it to catch fire and explode. | |

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. |

A version of this occurs in Iron Wok Jan. 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. The same joke was also used in an episode of The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, except this time he set the oven to "only" 5 million degrees and he ends up flooding the living room waist-deep in popcorn. |

In the Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi episode "Puffylicious", Kaz supposedly opens up a new restaurant called Puffylicious which both Ami and Yumi will run, but is later found out to have been a prank by Kaz for all the times the girls got him with pranks. 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. | |

In the 1997 theatrical movie of Bean, the two main characters attempt to pull off this trope when a pair of important guests drop by, both of them having completely forgotten about the appointment. 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. | |

A recipe-based variation in Doug: Roger needs eight bananas for banana pudding but only has six, so he comes up with the brilliant idea of subtracting 2 from everything. 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. | |
