mailbox cooking
|
Today my daughter noticed that the inside of the mailbox was extremely warm. For some reason, I suggested that we put a cup of water in the mailbox and measure how warm the water got. We took the temperature of the water inside and it was 80deg F. My daughter put the cup in the mailbox and about 1/2 hour later the temperature of the water was 110deg F. We compared the water with hot tap water and discovered that they were pretty close to the same. Next we started to think of things that we could cook in the mailbox. Smores to mind first because I knew that the chocolate would melt easily. However we were missing most of those ingredients. So we settled on a white chocolate chip on top of a cookie. My daughter is going out to the mailbox right now to check on the experiment. After 5 minutes the top of the chip is melted and the bottom is still solid. (These were in the freezer so it may take longer than if at room temperature.) The chip did melt and the experiment was very yummy. |
