ALBAWABA - A bizarre and unusual video has gone viral on social media, showing a New York City jeweler cooking a steak on three gold bars. The sight astonished viewers and garnered millions of views within hours.
In the video, the jeweler explained that gold is one of the fastest conductors of heat, causing it to heat up very quickly. He asserted that cooking a steak on gold takes three times longer than cooking it on cast iron, which explains why the steak is cooked in just a few minutes.
The man, who clarified that he is a jeweler, not a chef, emphasized the dangers of gold being near heat sources. He warned against wearing gold chains in saunas or near flames, as they absorb heat rapidly and can cause severe burns.
The jeweler pointed out that what he did was no ordinary experiment; the cost of cooking the steak this way reached approximately $450,000, referring to the value of the gold bullion used.
Viewers were divided on the video; some considered it an excessive display of wealth and an unjustified waste, while others saw the experiment as innovative and unusual, revealing an interesting scientific aspect of gold's properties and its high thermal conductivity.
