If you live on an active volcano and don't have a microwave... well, have we got the cooking method for you! Youtube user lavapix uploaded this video of a can of Chef Boyardee Beef Ravioli being heated and consumed by an encroaching wave of molten lava, which would be an awesome way to cook pasta except for the fact that only five of the ravioli could be found in the aftermath of the experiment.

As seen in the video, the can is originally sealed, but the heat builds up so much that the lid pops off and lands 15ft away, and ravioli were found as far as 30ft from the scene. Now that's how you make toasted ravioli, St. Louis.
