    yeah, thats a great idea.

    But I wouldnt trust even a geek to not burn his own house down with a Networkable grill.

    keep that in a kitchen where it belongs.

    You dont get heat from the USB port However you do get a voltage and current

    But a heating element usually requires a higher current then a USB port can supply. Maybe it plugs in the wall and you control the temps and cooking via the USB port. Now that would be cool!

    No, it says its completly powered by the USB cord.

    Thats probably why its so small. I want one of those for my dorm next year.

    Yeah click on the Buy it now button

    But that is one sweet idea. So I was right that the USB cannot supply the high current demands to cook food :P

    It would be nice to have on that runs off AC current but USB controlled so you can cook from home and program it.

    Wow. That would be awesome if it existed. I could cook a hamburger and play games (not at the same time of course).
