steam escaping from inside the Dino nugget making it spin

731

u/happyastronaut 16d ago

Or the oven is set to convection and the fan is blowing it.

364

u/_Kramerica_ 16d ago

This is the real answer and it explains why the others are pushed to the outside, because the fan is in the middle and blows straight down. Air fryers have similar functionality

74

u/MrFluffyThing 16d ago

Aren't most convection fans at the rear of the oven? They don't spin fast enough to push food this hard and are generally low speed fans. It's just there to circulate the air to keep a more consistent temperature and not strong enough to blow food around.

34

u/Unusual_Comfort_8002 16d ago

Also none of the crumbs are moving/blowing around. Steam wouldnt generate that much force for any period of time. Steam escaping tends to lead to bursting.

23

u/EGGlNTHlSTRYlNGTlME 16d ago

Normal convection ovens yeah, but you can tell this is more like a countertop appliance, so maybe it's a shitty air fryer than tries to make up for it with extra aggressive fanning

It's definitely not steam spinning it, because a) we'd see the steam and b) nuggets don't have skin capable of containing/directing that much steam. They're pureed chicken with a breadcrumb coating, the steam would escape in all directions equally

Also as they said, it explains why the others are on the outer perimeter, while the only one spinning is dead center. That would be a big coincidence if it were steam doing it

4

u/MrFluffyThing 16d ago

I didn't even consider this would be a countertop appliance, that changes my assessment entirely. I just saw the nugget spinning and didn't consider the rest of the video and that this might not be a traditional oven

4

u/GaptistePlayer 16d ago

All air fryers literally only work because of aggressive fanning. They are literally just small convection ovens with a LOT of convection.

An air fryer without a fan would just be a toaster oven

u/CreamdedCorns 16d ago

It's because this is a toaster oven with a convection function, commonly marketed as "Air Fry". A conventional oven would have the fan at the back.

1

u/WookieDavid 15d ago

Air fryers have the exact same functionality, they're nothing more than convection ovens in a different form factor.

8

u/bucketgiant 16d ago

I’m pretty sure this is the real answer; however, I think it’s an air-fryer and the fan is directly above the dino nugget.

u/Watchout_itsahippo 16d ago

How do I set my wife to convection?

2

u/bubba_bumble 15d ago

Or the spinning nugget has alternating positive and negative charges and the surrounding nuggs oppositely charged.

1

u/imagicnation-station 15d ago

There’s metal in the dino nugget which is heating up and causing it to spin. RIP op after eating the metal in the dino nugget. 😔

u/lemlurker 16d ago

To me it seems more likely that this toaster oven has an "air fryer" setting which has high speed fan in the top forcing air around that's causing it to spin

91

u/Unlikely-Answer 16d ago

gotta be, no steam in sight and it would take a lot to move it like that

10

u/AnnualZealousideal27 16d ago

Just swapped my V8 for a Dino nugget. Energy problems solved.

8

u/EthicalViolator 16d ago

Steam is invisible. What people think of as steam is actually steam condensing once it hits colder air.

Imagine looking oven and it's clear, then you open oven and a big bellow of "steam" rolls out, as the steam hit the colder air in the room and condenses to tiny tiny droplets which then evaporate.

2

u/JamesJax 16d ago

You have to assume no resistance. Then it works.

2

u/tooobr 16d ago

grease on the pan? The loose breading is acting like marbles on a freshly polished basketball court?

2

u/elmz 15d ago

Steam wouldn't be visible in an oven. Steam, as in water vapour is invisible, what you see above e.g. a boiling pot of water is steam condensing into water droplets. Colloquially both are called steam, though. But inside an oven thats hotter than the boiling point of water, the steam wouldn't condense.

In any case, in this instance it's likely the air fryer fan, not a steam jet causing the spin. Dino nugget crumbs aren't that air tight as to only let steam escape through one hole.

u/flaming_burrito_ 16d ago

It’s blowing my mind how many people just accepted that dumbass steam explanation. How much water do people think is in chicken nuggets?

u/According-Seaweed909 16d ago edited 16d ago

How much water do people think is in chicken nuggets

Umm Animals are made primarliy of water. Humans are like 70% water lol. 

Chicken nuggets, while mostly composed of chicken, also contain water, with moisture content typically ranging from around 34.71% to 66.08% depending on the specific formulation and ingredients. 

4

u/flaming_burrito_ 16d ago

The water isn’t just free in animals bodies though, it’s stored in lipids, and muscles, and mixed into blood with a bunch of other solutes. It’s not stored in a way that would cause pressure to build up from steam unless maybe you were using something like a microwave that evaporates water directly

15

u/jen1980 16d ago

It's sold by weight, so a lot?

4

u/TerrorSnow 15d ago

That would require a profound lack of nugget in the nugget

10

u/two_to_toot 16d ago

Water is an ingredient in chicken nuggets. It's the second ingredient after chicken which itself contains even more water. In fact by weight there is more water than chicken in a chicken nugget.

7

u/flaming_burrito_ 16d ago

Yes, but it’s mixed into things and wouldn’t be evaporating with so much pressure that it could move a chicken nugget. Even a watermelon wouldn’t do that

20

u/Gr8rSherman8r 16d ago

Clearly the steam is being supplied by a water source from another dimension, through a portal, and is being instantly phased into steam as it enters the dinosaur.

That's a stupid fucking answer. It's spinning because it's inside an air fryer. Air fryers have fans that move hot air when it's cooking shit.

u/TheMadmanAndre 16d ago

Not enough force, unless there's some tiny bottle of compressed air inside of the thing.

Looks like an air fryer. The cheap ones have an oversized metal fan somewhere to move air around, so that's probably causing it to spin.

Passage from Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett:

"He (the blacksmith Ned Simnel) looked proudly at the Combination Harvester. Of course, you needed a horse to pull it. That spoiled things a bit. Horses belonged to Yesterday; Tomorrow belonged to the Combination Harvester and its descendants, which would make the world a cleaner and better place. It was just a matter of taking the horse out of the equation. He'd tried clockwork, and that wasn't powerful enough. Maybe if he tried winding a -

Behind him, a noise in the oven, he looked and saw a dino nugget spinning enthusiastically

Simnel watched the escaping steam and rotating meat product. That was the bloody trouble, every time. Whenever someone was trying to do a bit of sensible thinking, there was always some pointless distraction."

I think so too. Happens to drops of water on a hot plate and is called the leidenfrost effect.

Probably also combined with the Leidenfrost effect to provide some lift and limit friction or the oil on the pan was a good enough lube.
