Not a bad track record for a berry once thought to be an evil aphrodisiac.

Should Robots Be Cooking Our Food?
You don't have to be rocket scientist - or a master chef - to cook a potato to perfection. Just follow the scientific formula T=r²/c. Master chefs such as Gordon Ramsay or Mario Battali might not appreciate taking cooking advice from a scientist, but according to Dr. Peter Barhman, people have been cooking potatoes the wrong way for centuries. Barhman, a retired physicist, claims that cooks should follow the formula T =r²/c to properly cook a potato. T is the cooking time, r is the radius of the potato, and c is the constant that depends on the water's heat capacity and the diffusivity of the water and the potato. Though culinary experts might scoff at his academic approach, Barham's theory about how to cook the perfect potato may inject a little science into kitchensaround the world.
