Can biscuts?!


Question:

Can biscuts?

At what temperature would you have to leave a can of biscuits to pop open?

Say your refridgerator went out when it increases from cold to hot at what temperature would the can pop? would it depend on if they are old or new?

They were old the can of biscuits that popped in my refrigerator that went out wondering what temperature it what when that happened.


Answers:
I don't think it has to do with temperature. I believe the glue gives way after some time or the condensation loosens the paper and that's why they pop open. I hope that I have been some help to you in this matter.

that was done on mythbusters...The dough can blow out of many types of biscuit cans at a car's internal temperature of 150 °F... During the episode, the first can popped at 133F after 55 minutes of heating..

However, I wouldn't rely on the can as a true temperature reading. If you have older cans, maybe some bacterial fermentation is going on so the pressure builds up quicker as the temperature rises. Also, the condition of the cans themselves may contributed to an earlier failure, but I can see older cans blowing sooner since the cans are essentially paper tubes with metal end caps holding a moist substance in a humid atmosphese (the refrigerator). The paper is bound to absorb some moisture which compromises it's integrity. Also, another factor is time. The long your biscuits sit at a higher temperature, the more pressure builds.

I doubt that your refrigerator can get to 130F or higher without a heat source, but temperature, age of the cans and time played a role in the cans popping. It's just hard to determine the exact temperature. However, you can assume that the refrigerator did not get much warmer than the temperature of the kitchen (without a heat source).

Biscuits taste like trees.
