cooking with a DX-100

[4cx250]

Hello All!

     When I was a kid, in my bed room, I loaded the output of a DX-100 into  two forks stuck into the ends of a hot dog.

     The TX cooked it to perfection in a short amount of time! You had to keep your hands on the plate and load as things changed rapidly as it cooked.

     Now in my "older years," could I cook a polish kielbasa, or maybe evan a boneless pork loin with my Globek King 500A loaded into it? I would brown the pork loin first.

     Yes, I realize that 4-400's "don't grow on trees."

     My question is is this still possible?

     How many minutes per pound on the porkloin with the Globe King?

Tnx,

  Don't know about minutes per pound but I'm pretty sure
27.185 mc is good for Chiken'

Hello All!

     Yes, I think that I used 11 meters for cooking the hot dog. What band would you use for the boneless pork loin. I will post pix.

Tnx,

Hello All!

     Yes, I think that I used 11 meters for cooking the hot dog. What band would you use for the boneless pork loin. I will post pix.  An old buzzard transmission is fine for a thick roast, but for thin-sliced pork, best to use VOX.

Tnx,

11 meters is not appropriate for hot dogs.  For ham and pork, stick to 75, 40, or 20 meters.   Stay far away from 26 - 27 MHz.  That band is only for chicken.  An old-buzzard transmission is appropriate for a thick pork roast, but for thinly sliced cutlets, it is best to use VOX.

It's HAM ain't it? If you are on the east coast, try 3892; say around 8-11 PM EST. Be sure to do a lengthy retune and on air tests there as well to insure the tx is still working 100% after the meal is prepared. Do not worry about warming up the rx at this time.

    All kidding aside, 115v (+/_) 50/60 cycle ac does a good job on hot
    dogs...

    I have an old cooker that will do a half doz. in one batch, must be
    at least 50 years old..

    When I was in Europe I used an old line cord salvaged from something
    with a couple insulated gater clips attached to a couple SS forks, one
    in each end of whatever "sausage of the day" that was to be served...

    Worked fine and gave off a glow on each end of subject being cooked.

    PS:  Must use Stainless Forks otherwise you might get undesirable
           electroplating on the item and their easy to clean...

Sausage dummy load doesn't get out very far ....even on 3892

Tnx,

My wife made a pork loin for dinner this evening.

She wanted to use my xmtr, much the same way you describe, to cook it.

I insisted that she use the oven.

Good thing I was home today.  I would have hated to get grease on my HB creation.

The pickle worked well with a variac and 220V and I kept the current at about 3-4A. I used a Vlasic and demonstrated it in front of an audience as a warmup to the warmup at a computer security conference in the 1990's.
