First of all, it is possible! It was all started when a couple of students from the UK have posted A Guide to Mobile Cooking back in September 2005 at the most. Then after some sharp eyed geek told slashdot in February 2006 about the article, in one week 250,000 people found it necessary to download those instructions.

After the popularity of this article took off (thanks to slashdot), three wise men tried to follow those instructions but failed after a 10-minute testing.

A couple of months later, two russian guys tried the same the same experiment concept but with different results this time! The following is the translation of the russian article by Victoria Boutenko ....

Vladimir Lagovski and Andrei Moiseynko from Komsomolskaya Pravda Newspaper in Moscow decided to learn first-hand how harmful cell phones are. There is no magic in cooking with your cell phone. The secret is in the radio waves that the cell phone radiates.

The journalists created a simple microwave structure as shown in the picture. They called from one cell phone to the other and left both phones on talking mode. They placed a tape recorder next to phones to imitate sounds of speaking so the phones would stay on.

After, 15 minutes: The egg became slightly warm.
25 minutes: The egg became very warm.
40 minutes: The egg became very hot.
65 minutes: The egg was cooked.

First Conclusion: Cooking eggs with mobile phones is possible but very expensive ($4.55 or 123 Rubles)
Second Conclusion: All this talk of danger is exaggerated; even if your brain gets cooked, it would take a couple hours of talking on a cell phone.

I really feel so sorry for those who hold their cell phones next to their ears talking for an hour or two not knowing that they are cooking their brains ...
