Curious.Will An Oven Actually Implode By Putting A Frozen Turkey In At 500 Degrees?

well for some people on this planet, apparently they blew up their kitchen in attempt of a wonderful/peaceful/family dinner

I don't understand how that would (could) cause an explosion. Rapid melting, boiling liquid in the roasting pan. The pressure might cause the oven door to flap open.

If anyone understands the pyro-dynamics of the alleged explosion I would be most interested in learning about it.

Frozen turkey + hot peanut oil= turkey & grease cannon!

i wonder what would happen if we froze Michael Moore, then shoved him into an 850 degree oven

The effect would be thunderous applause.

i would pay to watch beevis and butthead attempt to bake a frozen 40 pound turkey

If you drop a frozen turkey into a pot of hot grease the ensuing reaction would be because of the ice hitting the hot oil, it has nothing to do with it being a turkey. You can get a small reaction of the same thing by dropping frozen french fries into hot grease. It will pop and sizzle. When you do it on a large scale, it will pop and send oil over the side of the pan. This will catch fire when it hits the flame.

I repeat, a frozen turkey CANNOT catch fire. It can merely cause one when combined with hot oil and a shallow pan.

so according to all of you guys, there is no way a turkey can blow up a standard 1500 sq foot home?

Not a regular oven but a deep fryer. Drop a frozen turkey in a hot deep fryer and you better have a fire extinguisher ready!

maybe we can make one of those "This Is Your Brain On Drugs" ads with this concept, only trying to use the Turkey as the egg

The title said will it IMPLODE, not EXplode. I assume the OP is referring to a vacuum being created in the oven?

Sorry to disappoint you, Rexx, but no.

Is 1500 sq foot standard for a home?

i just used "Implode" cause its sounds more explosive/intense than 'Explode"

unless the turkey is a suicide bomber
