Diamonds are paradoxically:1) Better thermal conductors than any metal, 2) Electrical insulators, and 3) Readily heated by magnetic induction. And synthetic, industrial grade diamonds can be made in bulk (relatively) cheaply.
So - Build a top-loading induction oven. Fill it approximately 1/3 to
1/2 full with tiny, industrial grade synthetic diamonds. Take whatever you're cooking and wrap it in either aluminum foil or a high temperature flexible silicone sheet (the kind used for baking pans). Plop this into the over, fill the remaining space with more diamonds. The many tiny stones will press the wrapping around the food, ensuring even cooking.
Close the lid, start cooking. When ready, remove your meal, wait for the diamonds to cool off, and scoop them out for future use.
Diamonds will burn in air at 1562F, most cooking should not reach that temperature. But to prevent degradation it might be a good idea replace the air in the oven with argon - and then you could cook at a few thousand degrees, Maybe not food, but a convenient way to dispose of a body.

Thank you for reading to the end. I don't think that last bit would actually work. |

Well there's only one way to find out! |

Did you bring some...thing to try it with? |

Supposedly the task could be accomplished over several hours at 1600-1800 deg F, a bit longer at somewhat lower temperatures. Perhaps the mentioned appliance could have an adjacent chamber for preheating, uh, items having an annoyingly excessive level of bulk moisture such that the final bake time is not unduly extended. Your pound and Bundt cakes along with several dozen batches of chocolate chip cookies would run through as scheduled as the corpse, er, side project dehumidified appropriately, to be cooked and mulched for the benefit of the tomato patch. |
