They Poured Molten Copper on a Big Mac and THIS Happened

Ok are you ready?  Here is what happens in the video:

The video shows that as soon as the molten copper makes contact with the burger bun, it starts to ball up and roll off the surface.

And while the top of the bun is well and truly burnt by the end of it, we’re shown that the rest of the burger underneath is completely fine – the molten copper didn’t get even close to melting through the surface of the bread. Buns of steel!

We also see a similar effect on the burger patty when it’s directly exposed to the molten copper, and just so you know, that copper is heated to around 1,093 degrees Celsius (2,000 degrees Fahrenheit).

We hope you enjoy the experiment.  Are you surprised at what didn’t happen or have any ideas on this?  Feel free to comment on the video thread. Check back for more cool experiments!

    The copper is “molten” hence a liquid. It rolls off like water it’s viscosity won’t let it stick to the bun. If you notice, right before the takes the bun off. A blob of copper sticks. The burning has put a more course surface on it. Then once on the meat, same viscosity. Same results, it flows off.
