It's a question of how you'd like your steak cooked, or it seemed to be for these university

1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000
students.

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Sculptors and geologists from Syracuse University used steaming hot lava to grill the slabs

00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
of meat as part of an experiment.

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:24,000
The stream of lava ran down under a grill, providing the perfect indoor barbecue.

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Participants set up a resistant trough to direct the artificial flow and used the heat

6
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
to cook the steaks.

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
But the aim of the project wasn't just an excuse to fire up the barbecue.

The collaboration with artist Bob Wysocki looks to create pieces of art that bring into

question our understanding of this normally terrifying substance.

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
And for those who like their meat very well done, there's an even simpler way to get it

11
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,000
extra charred.
