    I cook my steak for 7 days generally, so 24 hours is a breeze. One time I put my steak in the oven at room temperature and left the oven door open so it wouldn't overcook and then went on a holiday for 3 months and by the time I came back , the steak was ready to eat... It was amazing! Although I spent the next week in hospital with food poisoning because I forgot to wash my potatoes...

    I ordered a coffee in the Fat Duck, Hestons place. They let loose a rare bat, it flew around the restaurant until it was shot with a lazer pistol by the head chef. They then extracted the coffee beans from the bats intestines & ground it with a piece of stone which was apparently part of stone henge. I didn’t ask for milk I hate to think what would have occurred.

    So, dry aged for 35 days and then raised to the temperature of a desert for 24 hours. This meat, however good, is so close to rotting off the bone that I'm sure some over zealous food inspector somewhere might actually declare the meat spoiled.
    I'd still be first in line to see if it actually was spoiled of course. I might have to try it again and again and again just to be sure.

    Meat aged for 35days plus 24h of slow 50°c of slow cooking. Leaving your family starvation n house in fire/fumes on the celling as he suggested to leave the oven open. Plus u might get bacterial/tapeworm infection due to slow relatively uncooked steak...

    I wonder what he eats while he waits 5 days for all these dishes to be prepared. Heinz tomato soup and crisps?
