Half Baking Oven

Thermal sensing ensures a half baked item

Half baking requires a fairly sophisticated computer. How do we know when something is half baked, i.e. 50%. There is really no way to know until the item is fully baked. In fact the baking progress might be quite non-linear. Hence this oven requires supercomputing neural software and even then is not completely reliable. But is does have a Half Bake button, and with time the results improve.

       maybe an fMRI scanner with a hot-air fed glass oven in the bore could yield sufficient data on the cooking process to determine the half-baked point?

       For a good many things, baking drives off some moisture. Put a good scale in the oven, and decide what percentage of moisture loss represents half baked--which may not be at 50% of moisture loss.   

       I'm going to say that half-baked and fully baked are both judgement calls.

       [BB] If you consider 100% moisture loss to be an indication of complete cooking, please be sure to leave me off your guest list. Unless you are serving nothing but crackers and jerky, that is.

       I am hoping that Dessert Fox visits soon, and takes mole under his wing. He would be an excellent mentor.
