at first not much happened... but after 3 minutes i got steam and bubbles.
as soon as it started to boil i threw in some rice to see if it would cook it.
this thing was so hot it bowed the board!
i let it sit for about 5 more minutes and believe it or not thermal protection never shut off the system until i had boiled water for well over 10 minutes.
finally i decided to pull the rice out and see if it got cooked.
so there we have it, i have proved without a doubt for once and for all that the Intel Pentium 4 can be used as a rice cooker. this is one tough little CPU and a proud member of the Intel family forever.
