Hot Potato. Review the “Cooking a Potato” web module on the CD-ROM or on the web.
(a) It took the potato described on the web 1 hour to cook at 350 °F. Builder Bob suggests that the potato can be cooked in half that time if the oven temperature is raised to 600 °F. What do you think?
(b) Buzz Lightyear says, “No Bob,” and suggests that it would be quicker to boil the potato in water at 100 °C because the heat transfer coefficient is 20 times greater. What are the tradeoffs of oven versus boiling?
(c) Ore Ida Tater Tots is a favorite of one of the Proctors/Graders in the class. Tater Tots are 1/12 the size of a whole potato but approximately the same shape. Estimate how long it would take to cook a Tater Tot at 400 °F? At what time would it be cooked half way through? (r/R = 0.5)?
