Searing Pork Belly with a 2.4kg Clothes Iron: Overengineered Thermodyn…

Can an everyday clothes iron engineer the ultimate culinary sear?
We applied high-precision thermodynamics to pork belly using a 2.4kg vertical load and a 220°C stainless steel plate.

By purging trapped air pockets and locking surface water activity at 0.85, this experiment forms a uniform 0.20mm Maillard crust while protecting 84% internal moisture at a 68°C core temperature. Explore the physics behind contact-resistance reduction and acoustic crunch verification.
