Random Rants 75: This is Bat Country!

Us old folks know that Since the early models didn't have a spinning dish. The younger generations are spoiled.
and get off my lawn.

Break the microwave heating up into cycles and manually rotate your dish a little between each.

Overkill. Turn it twice, something just short of a half turn each time.

Overkill. Turn it twice, something just short of a half turn each time.

Does the record show that I specified the amount of cycles involved? It does not.
I presented my general cyclerotary theory. You're merely showing special cyclerotary theory.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

The generalist learns less and less about more and more until he knows nothing about everything. The specialist learns more and more about less and less until he knows everything about nothing.

 

[Snerk]

Cyclerotary theory is the new theory of everything. Plus it's delicious.

 

[Manfred Belheim]

Nothing involving microwave food is delicious.

 

[Snerk]

That depends on the food. Delicious food heated with microwaves will usually remain delicious.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Nothing involving microwave food is delicious.

Except: 6 minute oatmeal, leftover pizza and a baguette being prepped for butter.

 

[Manfred Belheim]

Not really. Palatable I'm sure, but not delicious.

 

[Snerk]

Oh come off it you foodie.

 

[Manfred Belheim]

I'm the least foodie person you'd ever meet. I'd live off dystopian sci-fi-style nutrient pills if I could, but I wouldn't claim they were delicious.

 

[Snerk]

What would you claim is delicious then?

 

[Manfred Belheim]

Well it would have to be something not "cooked" in a microwave for starters

 

[Timsup2nothin]

6 minute oatmeal

Evidence of delicious? When I saw this I shot out of my chair, and there is oatmeal in the microwave as of this writing.

Sir, I shall prepare a blind test!

half a cup of raw, rolled whole oats of the quality you desire
1 cup of water
fruit as desired: frozen blueberries, raw apples, peaches, bananas etc
Cook 6 minutes at 40% power in a nice ceramic bowl that you enjoy eating out of
let sit in microwave for 5-15 minutes when finished to set
add brown sugar and or milk to suit.

As would I, but I'd have to throw in a few biscuits whilst I was at it.

 

[Cutlass]

I took my mother's car out for a short drive and the brakes failed. Pedal would go all the way to the floor before it started to slow.

Do you sell this stuff? Surely only someone who's financially invested and trying to put a bit of marketing spin on it would call something that takes 21 minutes to prepare, "6 minute oatmeal".

finally something I can 1000% agree with

That depends on the food. Delicious food heated with microwaves will usually remain delicious.

The only thing you can microwave where it somewhat keeps its texture is a raw potato. everything else is a no-go.
