As FARK Would Say,

"Still no cure for cancer":

Inventor's bright idea for perfect boiled egg: 'Many people are confused,' the product design student told BBC radio on Wednesday. 'This simply uses four 500-watt bulbs to heat the egg directly.'
[...]

But with 2000 watts of power, we can cook an egg.
Glorious.

Let's see. 2000 watts.

• Your blowdryer on 'Hi' requires around 1500 watts
• Your teevee about 100-200 depending on how big it is
• Your refridgerator, maybe 5
• And your radio/alarm clock - maybe 1/4
  

But by gawd we'll get that egg cooked in 6 minutes.
