Old ways of cooking are so inefficient: you sit in the kitchen next to a hot thing and put round things on the hot thing. Then you move the food around on the round things to make them hot. Then you take the food off and put it onto other round things. Why not just zap the food with a six-foot Jacob’s Ladder?

Raphael Abrams and his friend Max get down to business by cooking marshmallows and other deliciousness using a spark generator that promises to burn their eyebrows off. Thankfully, they’re wearing those heavy space goggles that make them look like Captain Spaceman in the 21st Century. I love how the grape gets hosed in this video.
