While you're at it, get a pig's foot with the skin still on it, and see if the skin will blister.

I routinely do that with my oven anyway; but in this case I will record the results for you.

Unless, of course, that cellphone has an LCD screen. Those are only rated to withstand a paltry 100 degrees.

CITE - I said NO SUCH THING - EVAHHHHHHHHHH When you cannot please man up & admit you were wrong - I know it would be too much for you to apologize, so I won't even suggest that.

Secondly, reread the post I made and the FACTS I stated with supporting citations. I need not repeat it for you - you try and refute the facts - I wish you luck. Have a great weekend.

Yeah - I know - I've been around long enough. I'm just razzin him/her a bit. He/she tends to drift away from all of the fights/arguments/discussions/debates that he/she loses. I'd just respect him/her a lot more if he/she would admit he/she was/is wrong once in awhile. It would go a long way to proving he/she is actually human and not a borg.

LCDs are available in various temperature ranges. One manufacturer lists four:
-30 C to +80 C
-20 C to +70 C
-10 C to +60 C
The cheaest and least temperature sensitive is 32 F to 122 F That is operational temperature. Exceed 122 degrees and the display will not display properly until cooled. Engineers may derate that an operational temperture maybe as much as 100 F. Exceeding that limit would not cause damage. Just make the display work like an overheated computer.

Storage temperature for that cheapest LCD is 175 F . A hairdryer must heat that LCD to above 175 F to do damage. Any hairdryer that hot would also burn a scalp. No hairdryer can operate that hot.

However no specs exist for pig's foot cells. Anyone foolish enough to buy one got the number of bars they paid for. Did classicman also recommend them?

For others, it was a joke. But I would not be so facetious with classicman. For classicman, I post seriously. It is the respect he deserves.

A pig that smart, you don't want to eat all at once.
