Catalina Sanchez Billy Hancock Indoor S’mores
Making s’mores indoors has become increasingly popular. With government cut backs, camping grounds and public parks are less available to families and friends seeking fun. Background
Determine the optimal settings for creating s’mores using a household oven. • Determine the impact convection adds to baking. Objectives
Normal ovens emits radiation only. There is also conduction between the cookie sheet, graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow. Since the graham cracker is a fair insulator, this will be minimal. Convection oven emits the same amount of radiation, with added convection. % volume increase α energy input. Assumptions
350°F for 5 minutes = .2 kWh 250°F for 5 minutes = .14 kWh Time to cook s’mores = 5mins. Uniform graham cracker, chocolate, marshmallow configuration. Same aluminum baking pan with wax paper. Assumptions Experimental Constants
When baking in a convection oven • @ 350°F – convection makes up 90% of the heat in the system • @ 250°F – convection makes up 40% of the heat in the system Results
The best oven settings are: • 350@ + convection • If you do not have a convection oven at your disposal, use the higher temperature. Conclusions & Recommendations E NJOY!
