Abstract
Today's experiment was to test the hypotheses that it was possible to cook Hash Browns on the sandwich toaster to produce mouth watering golden potato goodness, with less than 1% saturated fat. Only equipment on hand was to be used, with the minimum amount of effort required to obtain a conclusive result. The experiment was very successful, with a very hot, mouth watering, golden potato gems being the result.
Introduction
Today we performed another interesting experiment to see just how far we can push our Total-Geek sandwich maker cookery. The sandwich maker is one of our favourite cooking utensils because it is relatively fast to heat up, is very easy to clean, and with a little know how, you can cook all sorts of interesting things on them.
We recommend sandwich makers having a flat non stick cooking surface. This makes them both versatile and very easy to clean.
McCain Hash Browns were the subject of this experiment, with the aim being to produce very hot, very yummy, golden brown hash browns, containing less than 1% saturated fat.
Required Materials
* Coles sandwich Toaster: Model: YLCSP 240V, 2000W.
* Microwave oven.
* McCain Hash Browns.
* Coffee Cup 100mm high, 75mm diameter.
* Sink Plug. 10mm high, 55mm diameter.
* Large Plate.
* Spatula.
Method
1. Place 1 McCain Hash Brown for each member of the lab team onto the large plate and defrost them in the microwave using the auto defrost setting.
2. After defrosting has completed, put the hash browns onto the sandwich toaster.
3. Place the Sink plug on top of the Coffee Cup, then put the combined Coffee Cup and Sink plug under the sandwich toaster handle to produce a 10mm distance between the top and bottom planes of the sandwich toaster, and that these planes are parallel.
4. Cook the hash browns for 10 minutes. While waiting, compare the saturated fat content against other items in the refrigerator so that the lab team won't feel guilty about sampling the results.
5. Remove the hash browns from the sandwich toaster and give one to each member of the lab team, warning them that the experimental results will be irrestible and possesing a high level of thermal energy.
6. Consume the hash brown, and tally up the number of people who start to gravitate towards you asking for samples of your experimental results.
Results
The McCain Hash Browns turned out to be very hot, very yummy, golden brown and containing less than 1% saturated fat as predicted by the hypothesis.
A number of other people in the office expressed interest in repeating our experiment and sampling their own test results to confirm our findings.
Conclusion
Cooking McCain Hash Browns on the sandwich toaster was possible, and highly successful. It appears that the good people at McCain laboratories had anticipated the experiments that would be performed by our lab technicians as they happened to note this as a suggestion on the front of the packet.
Unfortunately, due to the entire lab team having Y chromosomes, and therefore suffering Male Pattern Blindness, they were unable to see this suggestion until after the experiment had concluded.
