Comment on Turkey Temptation

• Aceticon@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  The places I know were they do cook stuff using volcanic heat (in Peru and the Azores islands which are part of Portugal) they do it by digging a hole in an area were the ground is hot from volcanic heat and putting a pan cooking in it (they cover it all to keep the heat).

  So it’s more a local technique for cooking for free that then evolved into a couple of traditional dishes.

  Never heard of trying to roast stuff on the output of a geyser.

    It’s a thing in New Zealand, where they actually cook in the geothermal springs, done traditionally by Maori in the area that has geothermal activity(they also dig a hole sometimes, not sure if that depends on the tribe or just what they’re cooking). Apparently there’s a restaurant that does it too: whakarewarewa.com/experiences-traditional-food/

    I haven’t tried it so can’t speak to the flavor, but Id imagine it would be somewhat sulphour flavoured, which doesn’t seem appealing, maybe it’s an acquired taste?

  Would depend on the specific hot spring. Most would cook and dissolve it. Additionally it would be very Sulphur smelling and tasting which would be range from icky to deadly depending on how much of the undissolved you ate.

  Does this actually work to coock it?

  Doesn’t seem safe to try to cock it while it’s in the hot spring. Maybe yoy could find a way to make it could actually work…but why?

  Is it at all edible?

  Sous vide method would probably have the most chance Of being edible since the turkey would be vacuum sealed

  Is there any environmental impact or downside?

  Yes. That’s why the park service is saying not to do this. You’d be introducing new chemicals into a delicate ecosystem and also potentially physically damaging it.

    I’m a homebrewer, so I have a boiler large enough to sous vide a turkey (or a lamb), but I do wonder where one would find a large enough bag, I think you’d have to weld several bags together

  It would cook it, the springs are hot and acidic enough. You’d just have to sit for a long while. Edibility depends on your allergies and tolerance for poisons.
