LOL. That is the source of one of my most painful memories. My grandmother had one, and made us some hotdogs one visit. I made the mistake of not waiting for the cooldown, which had to be on the order of hours. I forked one, threw it on a bun and took a bite. I remember nothing else but excruciating pain. :bawl: Pizza sauce wishes it could do that much damage.

I also had a dog off of one of these - the ends were burnt to the point of being carbon, and the center was this greasy, rubbery meatlike stump.

I would have rather eaten a dog thats been on a roller for days at the local 7-11 than one of these arclight dogs ever again. It was seriously that bad. But I remember in the late 70's absolutely EVERYONE wanted one of these things. As I said earlier, there isn't anything better than electrocuted food..   :lmao:

You could do that with a spare 6-cell battery, wires, and a pair of alligator clips.  Probably wouldn't taste very good, but it would work in a pinch.

My power went out last month and I was glad I had a spare car battery and an emergency light with battery clips at the end.  I got to stay up and read long enough to hit the sack.  Had to take a cold shower in the morning, but my power was on by the time I got home from work.

Just saw this thread.....

Don't know why it's called "Texas Sheet Cake"...but the first time I had it was over 30 years ago in Omaha....made by the Wicked Witch of the West --- or in more polite terms---my ex mother in law. (God bless her....she probably hasn't made it out of Purgatory yet ....she's only been there a little over a year.... :evillaugh:)

It's a very fudgy chocolate cake, made with Hershey's cocoa powder, baked in a sheet pan...11x15...which is a cookie sheet with sides on it.

The cake only bakes about 15-20 minutes (haven't made it in years).

While it bakes, an incredibly chocolate frosting is made...lots of butter, sugar and Hershey's cocoa powder and chopped pecans.

As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, the frosting is poured onto the hot cake. The frosting hardens quite quickly to the consistency of fudge - tastes like it too. The frosting is almost as thick as the cake.

It is a chocolate lover's dream cake when served warm with vanilla ice cream on it...... :drool:

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I've finished two bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already." – Dave Barry

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

The other day I used those little shortbread things and put ice cream, banana and whip cream on it instead of strawberry and whipped cream.

I dunno why I mentioned this.
