If Someone Collapsed And Died While Having A...

...hot shower how long would their remains need to lie in the shower tray before they were cooked through?

[jennyjoan]

depends on when the hot water turned cold

[anneasquith]

Stop it Sandy :-) . Are you well ?

[douglas9401]

I suppose it would depend on how much the family dog ate in the meantime.

[sandyRoe]

An electric shower, JJ. The hot water wouldn't turn to cold.
Anneasquith, never better. That's just a thought that has drifted into my mind.

[andres]

What on earth is going on in your mind. This is a disgusting vile question. No-one in their right mind would think otherwise!! Sick.

[Ken4155]

Why would the hot water run cold, jj?

[Buenchico]

Is the heat getting to your brain today, Sandy? ;-)

The 'ideal' shower temperature is generally regarded as being around that of the human body, give or take a degree or two. (So roughly 37C to 40C). Just a degree or so above that range is too hot for most people. The meat cooking process doesn't commence until at least 45C, so it would seem unlikely that your corpse would ever be 'done to a turn'.

[Ken4155]

Sandy, you'd be better chopping the body up and sticking it in the microwave. You could always freeze what you don't eat:-)

[anneasquith]

It’s a waste of electricity .

[sandyRoe]

Do slow cookers not work at a relatively low temperature? I know in them there's never a great amount to be cooked.

[maggiebee]

Love random thoughts sandy - sorry I would have to try it out before I could give you a definitive answer lol

I've just watched a YouTube video where the boy was disposed of via a woodchipper. They caught the murderer (husband) due to DNA.

Also, another video had a Parrot who witnessed a murder and solved the case.

[sandyRoe]

Was the parrot a stool pigeon who informed on the killer?

[douglas9401]

Slow cookers have lids to keep the heat in, Sandy, maybe try again but this time in a home sauna.

[Ken4155]

This explains some of the 'whys' and 'wherefores'

Well it would if i posted it on the correct thread:-(

[Buenchico]

I wouldn't want to eat anything from a slow cooker that only produced around 40 degrees C of heat, Sandy. It's the ideal temperature for the rapid growth of all sorts of nasty bacteria!

Food hygiene regulations require that all hot foods are kept at above 63C. (That's just to keep them hot, not to cook them).

Slow cookers on their lowest settings typically heat food to around 90C.

Wouldn't they be steamed rather than boiled tho ? Allowing 20 mins per pound and 20 mins over ...

[youngmafbog]

As pointed out above, the heat is nowhere near enough.

On a similar vein though I lost a tankful of tropical fish. Typically we were away for the weekend when the thermostat failed on the heater and we came back to cooked fish. Except one red tailed shark who, despite being an odd colour, had miraculously survived once tenderly coaxed back.

And one side would be 'done' before t'other, making the top side tougher to chew than the bottom side. You haven't really thought this one out, have you Sandy? :-J
