In my first Heat Transfer class many years ago, our final exam required us to calculate how long it took to cook a turkey in a 350 F oven. I explained how you could cook the turkey and let it rest for 20 minutes, but you had to then stand way back because all that cooking heat was going to be belched back out and the turkey was going to suddenly freeze, right there on the cutting board. If I recall correctly, I didn’t get 10 points for that solution. I may have even failed the course.
Ranks right up there with the bacon uncooking itself if you put it in the freezer.

Not.
Something about entropy....
