UK versus USA canned hot dog electrocution challenge. (mastication alert)

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ย. 2024
  • In one corner we have the gaunt malnourished British-style hotdogs and in the other we have the more robust American style hotdogs. But in a head to head battle of who can pass the most current while being electrocuted - who will win?
    Trehalose appears to be a sugar with unusual properties like moisture retention and bonding.
    Results below:-
    The competing hot dogs were pitted against 240V in teams of six with points awarded for current passed and peak power. Other points were awarded for style.
    The UK themed hotdogs passed a peak of 13A (2.99kW) before they started exploding really forcibly at 24 seconds.
    The USA themed hot dogs passed a huge 17.57A (3.995kW) before they started arcing and popping at 22 seconds.
    The winner is America. But the British hot dogs get a special mention for actually exploding with unreasonable force at the end.

    This also keeps the channel independent of TH-cam's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

      The ingredients he read are not in the typical American Hotdog. The ones I buy are beef hotdogs and there isn't chicken or pork anywhere near them. It might be typical for the immitation things he electrocuted, not a Kogels or Nathans hotdog. Any meat coming out of a can is going to taste like dog food.

    I actually owned and operated one of these. It was back in the 60's and I found it in a thrift shop. It would cook a full load in a minute or less. And they were always juicy and cooked. The taste was fantastic!! Even the burnt parts were good. Boiling hot dogs leaves the flavor in the pan. Electrocuting kept the taste in the meat!! And this was LONG before some tech got a soft chocolate bar in his pocket so this was instant for the day. I really enjoyed this video. Not sure which I want most, the cooker, or back to the 60's!! Thank you for this!!

    Great video, Clive. As an American, may I say that there are many kinds of American hot dogs but basically they fall into four kinds; Franks (made from pure beef), Wieners (made from mostly Pork), and more recently; Turkey and Chicken hot dogs for those who want healthier fare, (not counting veggie dogs which I don't count as real hot dogs).
    I prefer Oscar Mayer brand Angus beef franks which are also skinless (some hot dogs have a natural casing like sausages) and uncured (i.e. no brine). Also, you can't enjoy a real American hot dog experience without eating it with a hot dog bun and your favorite condiment topping, which might be Ketchup (Catsup), Mustard, Relish, Sauerkraut, chopped Onions, Chili, Pickle spear, Banana Pepper, liquid Cheddar (Nacho) cheese, etc; or any combination thereof.
    Hot dogs should also be served with Potato Chips (crisps), or Potato Sticks (either on the side or as a topping) or French Fries (chips) on the side.
    American hot dogs are usually found vacuum packed and in the refrigerated section of our grocery store.
    For the best flavor, I score them with a knife, boil them for 7 minutes and then cook them on the grill till they have grill marks on them. Delicious! :) You should try them that way sometime.

This is apparently due to the way the bun assembly lines work with the size of baking pan they use back from rationing laws in WWII.
