Hot action here
Whenever I heat up baked beans, I get to thinking about how they end up hot.
Ohhh, yes! I think to myself, when the heat hits the beans it agitates the molecules and that's how the beans get hot. Now, I have no idea at all whether this is even true. For all I know I have totally made it up. Actually writing it down now, it seems a little implausible to me. And I never think it at any other time, or when I'm doing any other cooking-related activity. Only when I'm heating baked beans. Every. Single. Time.
Odd.

o-kay. i read the twice and still don't get it. that's what i get for blogging after work.
The answer to the first is because God likes hot food. Nothing to do with physics. Accept it as a gift.
The more important question is why you are asking the question.
What about the microwave then? That's even more magic, like a futuristic space machine where magic rays produce excitement from thin air. Deal nor no Deal, anyone?
Cheese beanos. That's what we call baked beans on toast with cheese on top. It's Clive's mum's name for it. She's a crazy woman and still makes me smile with her crazy odd little things.
Beans->Farts->Methane->Ozone layer depletion->Global warming->beans get hotter ;-)
Baked beans get very hot in a toasted sandwich maker.
this will rank as one of your very best masterpiece.
one to remember and forever ponder.
Viccus Scurra has a mind after my own heart.
Anyway, beans. I will never ever tire of baked beans on toast. It has always tasted divine and it always will. Life's mysteries are great, aren't they?
I am off now to put some potatoes in the oven. They will get hot AND cook, then I will eat them.
I'd never wondered how or why before. I seem to remember something about the Maynard reaction or something at school, but I think that just applies to toast.
Whilst you're at it why is toast nicer than bread?
durrr, because it's toast. what do they teach you at medical school these days?
oh, and ole phat stu? i was kind of hoping you'd explain the whole how-baked-beans-get-hot thing. bah.
But they don't do they? The beans don't get hot until the sauce gets hot and then the beans (or the sauce) burn the pan!
Yet it says on the tin that you mustn't let them boil (I think!)
Baked beans = spawn-of-the-devil - on account of being forced to eat each and every one individually when they'd got cold! Do you KNOW how powdery the inside of a baked bean is? *shudder*
Oh and Fifi - congratulations! Now get thy pregnant arse onto some poems dear girl will you? :)
Beans on toast rocks....even more so when you're stoned off your face !
I'll think about that every time I eat baked beans now, too. I'll never enjoy them properly again.
