The classic with the Geforce-Spiegelei still in mind, we want to play Jamie Oliver for nerds this time. It is not the healthy-bland vegetable-mampf that is in the foreground, but graphics card-friendly fast food for today’s gamblers.

Playing and preparing in one – there does not interfere with the long preparation time, because the unfortunately usually usual control point system of the modern console clapping does not allow a timely and fast meal anyway. We are amazed at the changeability of modern computing technology and would like to share the readers with our snack party for insiders.

 

Please dear children!

Don’t imitate! Dad will cover your butt when the expensive technique clatters the mind. We know what we do (mostly).

Our oven systems

We use the same PC as we had already converted it for heating. However, this time the graphics card sits in the bottom of the two x16 slots, so we have enough space for our meals. For heating we used a special and very thin-walled Teflon form with very straight underbody. The quality of this floor and the thinst wall as possible together with the thermal conductivity of the material determine the success or failure of the test, which is why we had to search for a long time. The not quite cheap product of a well-known German brand manufacturer won in the end in a simple selection procedure, because only here we achieved the 60°C++ necessary for the clotting of a mirror ice. We have therefore discarded silicone rubber and aluminium foil.

The kitchen of Team Green…

… and that of Team Red.

After a few minutes, the HD 6990 and GTX 590 already have more than 60°C on the “plate”, enough to let an egg clot (mirror egg from approx. 60°C)

OC version of HD 6990 after one hour. Here even cheese very quickly goes its own way

What can be prepared with these devices? We test it in self-testing…
