Steve gets frozen (opposite of burned)

It's a pun, give me a break. Anyway...in case you missed it, my brother Steve recently proposed an idea of an anti-microwave: a device that instantly (or very quickly) makes something cold, the same way that a microwave makes something hot. Well, he should have known than to try and stump a certified chemist, Joseph Ferguson. Enjoy the hilarious results for yourself here.

"Your best bet is frozen carbon dioxide, known to the non-chemist as "dry ice". It's dirt cheap and it freezes any aqueous mixture instantaneously. It's what they use to ship perishable food items in the mail. Dry ice has a surface temperature of -78 degrees Celsius (-109 degrees F). For more info go here:
