Maker of the day – Matty Sallin, Bacon-cooking alarm clock

Maker05TnToday’s Maker from our new book Makers – Matty Sallin, New York, New York. Bacon-cooking alarm clock. When Sallin first woke up to his Wake n’ Bacon alarm clock — constructed from a gutted Wal-Mart alarm clock, a PIC microcontroller, and two 100-watt halogen lamps — everything came back to him again. “My first thought was ‘Mom’s in the kitchen,’ soon followed by “The apartment’s on fire.” Makers: page 48.

    This is really neat idea. but does the bacon stay cold and bacteria free during the night? It looks like it’s just sitting there rotting for hours before the bulb comes on.

    Well that is correct that it might rot but you can preserve it with salt or any other things.
