Russian journalists Lagovski and Moiseynko managed to cook several eggs with the radiation and heat emitting from their cell phones. The results of this "unscientific" experiment were republished  by Crorepixels with the authors stresssing people be aware of phone radiation and potential health issues. Personally, I prefer a hands free connection where ever possible.

• Vladimir Lagovski and Andrei Moiseynko from Komsomolskaya Pravda Newspaper in Moscow decided to learn first-hand how harmful cell phones are. There is no magic in cooking with your cell phone. The secret is in the radio waves that the cell phone radiates. 
• The journalists created a simple microwave structure as shown in the picture. They called from one cell phone to the other and left both phones on talking mode. They placed a tape recorder next to phones to imitate sounds of speaking so the phones would stay on. 

• After, 15 minutes: The egg became slightly warm.
• 25 minutes: The egg became very warm.
• 40 minutes: The egg became very hot.
• 65 minutes: The egg was cooked. (As you can see.)

• Conclusion ..1: Cooking eggs with mobile phones is possible but very expensive ($4.55 or 123 Rubles)
• Conclusion ..2: All this talk of danger is exaggerated; even if your brain gets cooked, it would take a couple hours of talking on a cell phone.
• Conclusion ..3: We dont recommend carrying cell phone in your pants.

After spreading like wildfire for a few days, this story is generally now regarded as being a great hoax, based on an article first appearing in Gelf Magazine. You decide for yourself before cooking eggs with a cell phone.
