Flashlight Turkey Roasting

Cooking Your Holiday Bird with Light Produces Surprising Results

— November 22, 2012 — Special
Turkey roasting is a time-honored holiday tradition, but cooking one with flashlights is definitely not one of the tried and true methods, until now. The average-size turkey is cooked using six Wicked Laser-brand flashlights that manage to make the bird edible in only 2.5 hours. Each flashlight is capable of emitting 4,100 lumens of light, which is a highly intense beam that can apparently make for an oven-like environment when more than one is utilized.

The viral video by YouTube sensation kipkay is amongst good company with all his works being prank, hack or how-to oriented. While the video is technically a how-to, it's unlikely that you'll want to cook your holiday bird using this outrageous method despite how cool it might be to watch.
Trend Themes
1. Nonconventional Cooking - The use of unconventional methods to cook food in shorter time frames with high-intensity light, different cooking apparatuses, or other non-traditional methods.
2. Alternative Energy Sources for Cooking - Considering alternative energy sources such as solar cooking, biomass, or other innovative methods instead of traditional sources of energy could save on costs and reduce environmental impacts.
3. DIY Cooking Techniques - Creating new cooking methods or cooking utensils using non-traditional materials and tools can lead to more innovative ways of cooking food at home or in a commercial kitchen.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchenware - Innovative kitchenware and cooking utensils that capitalize on non-traditional cooking techniques offer exciting opportunities for businesses to provide unique and efficient products to both home and commercial kitchens.
2. Sustainable Energy - Companies specializing in sustainable energy have the opportunity to offer eco-friendly energy sources and appliances, such as alternative fuel sources for cooking, to attract consumers interested in more environmentally responsible cooking practices.
3. Food and Beverage - A brand could capitalize on the popularity of non-traditional cooking methods by creating a distinct product range of recipes, cooking equipment and ingredients featuring unconventional cooking methods to attract consumers looking for new and unique dining experiences.
