Yes, but few people know that, so this still sounds impressive.

I suspect I could do that 'cook fish in ice' demo in my home microwave after a few practice runs. The trick will be having the whole block of ice at -1C so the ice is solid, but the slightly salty water within the fish's body is not frozen, and therefore absorbs microwaves really well.

Adding a little gelatine to the water will probably make it work even better, because then convection currents won't eat away at the ice so quickly.




you're like Mr white from that TV show
