@ai6yr According to USDA, arcing hot dogs and sausages are not uncommon. Uneven mixing of salts contributes. Root veggies like carrots can do the same thing.
Side note-google's AI crap makes a search like this close to impossible. Their own results are utter nonsense. They must be aware, right?
@W6KME@ai6yr Reminds me of a fun thing to do with a grape -- slice it in half lengthwise, then put the two pieces in the microwave, cut side up, with the pieces as close together as you can without touching. It will arc between the two pieces.
This demonstrates that thing where the E field is highest near a sharp point or corner.

did he cut it first?
I had a sweet potato do that the other day: realized it was because of the knife I'd used to cut it.
what's a little extra iron in the diet?
knife got thrown away

@W6KME @ai6yr Something like this will also cause arcing on hot dogs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=029jcmv4tIU
