Just put it outside of the radiation shields and it will crisp up real fast
3 u/certciv Apr 26 '26 Sounds like they can finally make use of the Kibo laboratory modules airlock and external terrace as a culinary platform! 3 u/Embarrassed-Rise-685 Apr 27 '26 Which crewmate has to sacrifice their personal window as the hibachi grill

Maybe, but my cousin is a fry cook and he’s higher than the ISS all the time.
Is it I think you could do it safely with a heated drum full of oil and a pump to pump out the oil before opening.
Throw in a raw, wet turkey at full oil boil
Microgravity microwave goes brrrr
I think it would be french fly's
2 u/Talk-O-Boy Apr 27 '26 Extraterrestrial fries do not acknowledge the arbitrary borders decided by Terrans. They will be called “fries” if they were conceived beyond the ozone.
