Any pan left on high will end in disaster. The good news about pressure cookers is that they rarely result in fires. If the same thing had happened with a regular pan, who knows.

On the other hand, electric pressure cookers and crock pots cost almost the same as a good stovetop pressure cooker and have extra safety interlocks.

For months, my job was to watch paint dry. Once I had the testing ego in down, it was easy duty. The trick was lots of sensitive thermocouples.

Plasmagryphon will likely weigh in on this, but since liquid Nitrogen boils at -320F (-195C) and dry ice sublimes at -110F (-80C), they are likely using Nitrogen vapor and the temperature is in Fahrenheit.

A bit off topic: The Taco Bell headquarters in Irvine, CA is a justifiable tourist destination. Besides being able to mix and match from all of the above, the food is prepared perfectly and you are never cheated on portions or ingredients.

I agree, however, it was likely inevitable. My mother had been reading the strip since its inception. She said that it was obvious that Schultz drew his initial inspiration from his children and their friends. As they grew up, he put teenage and young adult words in their mouths without growing the drawings. After he moved to California the strips did not have snow. In his later years, all he had for inspiration was his dog. Ergo, Snoopy was the principal actor.

This beats Al's Breakfast in Minneapolis which is all of 10 feet wide. But since those ten feet need to contain stools, a counter and the cooks it only seats 14 rather than the expansive accommodations in the photo.

250 million years ago a massive volcanic eruption in Siberia continued for a million years and defined the Permian–Triassic boundary. World changing events happen in Siberia. [shudder].
