Badass Scientists Use Molten Lava To Casually Cook Up A Steak Dinner

This is how real men grill.

Geologists are smart people. They study the planet, rocks, and other fun earthy things. Most recently, they figured out that MOLTEN LAVA can cook steaks.

Yes, the same molten lava that erupts from volcanos.

So naturally the guys at the Syracuse University Lava Project decided to use the hot stuff to grill up some steaks.

According to the University of Oregon's Volcano department, "the temperatures of lavas vary depending on their chemical composition." But it ranges from 1292 to 2282 degrees Farenheit.

With that much heat, the steaks cook wicked fast! The team was able to fully cook an entire meal in under 6 minutes!

Wait, what's that? Salmon. OK guys, you're just showing off now.

OMG and hot dogs too, hey...where was our invite?

As the lava ran more it began to cool off and finally came to a stop.

Food's done!

Isn't science awesome?!
