/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Literally nothing wrong with microwaves. It's the quickest and easiest way to reheat leftovers.

Nice trips, but heating leftovers is one of the few actually acceptable uses of a microwave oven.

Name a better way to reheat pasta

Microwaves are for the lazy and obese. I haven't owned one ever in my entire life. Didn't have one growing up because my mom said they were for fat and stupid people.

>I haven't owned one ever in my entire life
So why do you think you get to tell others what they're for?

doesn't heat evenly, easiest is throw in the oven, quickest is irrelevant when the result is shit

They're food heater uppers, not esoteric devices.

I use mine to cook quick potatoes, that's all really.

>reheating leftovers
it's better cold yo

So what exactly is it about heating up food that makes it for obese people, cocksucker?

Microwave ovens can thaw or heat food in minutes instead of half an hour and considering that they cost like $30 I don't really need them to do anything else to be justified.
They do also make decent popcorn, though.

Nice argument, faggot.

I love food, but sometimes I would rather take some Jetsons pill that makes me nourished and energized without the need to eat a few days a week. A microwave with leftovers or frozen food is the closest modern equivalent, so I do that when I'm not interested in taste at the moment. I haven't eaten at all today, and I feel no desire to, so taking extra steps to prepare food that I know I need to eat will be wasted on my uninterested palate.

Loser

And you can do that right in the bowl/plate you stored your leftovers in. Or you can transfer to an oven dish, wait 10 minutes for the oven to preheat, wait another 15 for the food to heat then have an extra dish to clean. Microwave works absolutely fine.

Hate putting effort into preparing food. Not the same as hating food.
I never cook and use nothing but a microwave at most when my food isn't coming from a restaurant. You probably have no idea how much time you've been spending on all the food preparation you do. I find most normies pretend it doesn't take any significant time or effort to cook until you start pressing them for details and they reveal a million different little tasks I never have to even think about.

>doesn't heat evenly
That's you not understanding how to use a microwave properly.

Try this on the sign “if you whine about other people’s habits out loud or online you’re a whiny bitch”
Just feel smug that you think you’re better than them and move on.

So your retarded mom sets the rule on who gets to have a microwave? Anon, your mom was an idiot and probably said a lot of stupid shit. Please tell me some more of the wisdom she passed on to you.

>>12803716
low effort bate

>>12803750
Not bait, lots of people don't cook you retard. Probably more people on 4chan than not don't cook.

Using a pan or pot to reheat leftovers is ultimately easier, just takes a bit longer. Microwave fucks up your plates and bowls so food sticks all over them and that's why your roommates leave a big shitty pile of dishes in the sink. Also your food will actually be hot, won't have shitty clumps or stick together, and you can season or add liquid where needed. Microwaved food is garbage. Only thing I'll microwave sometimes is a bowl of instant noodles or a shitty slice of pizza I want to smash in my face.

Yes, preparing nutritious, well balanced meals from scratch while teaching her children to cook is really stupid. She told me that people from the Mediterranean are untrustworthy and never to go to a bathhouse alone.

>Implying everyone cooks
>Implying everyone on an anime website frequented primarily by young adults cook
Did you somehow not notice the 95% fast food thread content /ck/ consistently generates each day?

>>12803810
Wow what a fucking bitch. You should sue her for neglect and then accompany me to a bathhouse for shenanigans.

Maybe don't microwave everything on high. The oven takes time to heat up and it makes your house hot

I've been without a microwave for almost a year now and once in a while I wish I had one for the sake of convenience.
