Re: This Week



Jim,

The GE website does indeed say that their Advantium ovens cook with light.
They don't give the technical details, but these ovens are rated at 30 Amps
so I would guess that they are using very high intensity lamps to do the
cooking. My guess is that they are IR lamps, but I don't know for sure.
Hmmm... I wonder how a sunburned roast tastes.

You know one can learn a great deal from watching the ABCNews program This
Week with Cokie Roberts and Sam Donaldson -- despite Donaldson's arrogant
twittiness:

For example --

From the Dow ad's jingle one learns that Einstein said "just a thought?
What is that all about?

and

From the GE ad one learns that one can cook with "light" in about a
quarter the time as in a regular oven.
What is that all about?
