/ck/ - Food & Cooking

/x/ told me that the microwave creates portals into other dimensions that can allow demons to enter my food, which can enter me if I eat it

Uneven cooking
Interferes with texture
No maillard

Half the people I know can't even reheat food properly in a microwave, nevermind trying to actually cook it from scratch.

>>14986480
Half of zero is still zero

>>14986505
g1, peewee. try harder

>>14986469
False, however hackers can hack your microwave so that the radiation creates the covid-19 novella virus

>>14986508
:(

>>14986420
it's not, but it's not appropriate for everything

>>14986480
Pretty much what this guy said. Got nothing against microwaves, they're good if you're in a hurry or lazy but I certainly would never microwave a steak or something.

>>14986547
>I certainly would never microwave a steak or something.
I used to work in a two star Michele restaurant and we would microwave steak after searing it to seal in the falvour.

>>14986420
Radiation retard
You're going to get cancer because you were to lazy and childish to use an oven or a stove

>>14986480
pretty much this

but also you know humanity looks back at how unsafe people were in new tech? like gas heaters being placed inside tiny bathrooms on the inside of a house with no ventilation
electricity being used dangerously leading to deaths etc

I do believe we will at one point look back on microwaves and think "wtf were they thinking"

why is there so much reddit spacing on /ck/?

>>14986712
true but we may also still be completely unaware of the effects, I'm not saying definite I'm just saying there is some doubt in my mind on the safety of microwaves

you as a 2016

tourist honestly

>>14986685
What kind of radiation schizo-kun?

>>14986420
inefficient

>>14986750
takes 12 minutes to cook a potato in the microwave, as opposed to an hour in the oven

>>14986765
google "efficiency"

>15 mins to boil water in a stovetop kettle

VS

>2 mins in a mug in the microwave

MICROWAVE wins, sorry boomers.

>>14986782
VS. 1 minute in the electric kettle.

>>14986724
What the fuck is reddit spacing? The reddit have a monopoly on paragraph structure now?

>>14986480
>Uneven cooking
you use microwaves from 1970?

>>14986820
>electric kettle
unnecessary kitchen gadget
would only buy one if i don't have a kitchen

>>14986847
poorfag cope is baffling as always

>>14986831
something retarded newfags use when all other points of argument are lost basically

it's like the grammar correction in argument for zoomers

The only thing it does well is heating liquids and soft things.
For everything else it's shit.

>>14986847

Reddit spacing isn't a fucking thing you election tourist faggot. It's so you can actually read broken up thoughts and not just have a goddamned wall of text. Of course, you're probably a zoomer, so reading more than 148 characters spooks you.

Microwaves are great though. I rarely use the stove or oven. I just don't have the desire to spend that kind of time for a marginally better product if I can avoid it.

>>14986780
microwave is the most energy efficient way of heating in the kitchen

>microwave is the most energy efficient way of heating in the kitchen

>>14986420

My microwave was fucking up, so I took the door off and jammed the little locking things so it runs with the door off.
Saved myself $35 instead of buying a new one
feels good man.

>>14987266
>it runs with the door off

enjoy..... your cancer?

>>14986949
didn't say microwaves are necessary
haven't used one for like 2 years

Can't say it's bad personally, cooks literally cook lobster and crab in the microwave because it works best. Otherwise, look at the all of the other replies.

>>14986469

what i miss about the /x/ board is the schizo posting. why dont we have based /ck/ schizo posters.

Microwaves vibrate water molecules, heating them. It's akin to boiling. Anything you would not boil is going to be shit in a microwave.

>>14986847
>unnecessary kitchen gadget

It's a cheap convenience item that has no tangible drawbacks to the quality of the product, unlike a microwave.

Do you remember chernobyl? Do you remember hiroshima and nagasaki?
Well, every bite of a microwaved food makes you ingest the very same radiation which melted people and made them grow additional arms and eyes.
If you open a microwave you will find the shiny green uranium bar.

>>14986420
It serves a purpose but pizza rolls are way better when you cook them in the oven instead of the microwave.

Food heated in a microwave tends to cool down much faster than foods cooked other ways.

>>14986420
>I'M POOR AND LIVE IN A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY WHERE MICROWAVES DON'T EXIST. I'M THE BEST COOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>14989251
spotted the dumb fuck american

btw every broke ass fucker I know almost exclusively uses microwaves, having a stovetop burner and oven running on gas is more expensive

>>14986480
>le "maillard"
Just say browning you autistic faggot. I bet you say "le umami" too instead of savoury.

>>14989273
>DONT USE TECHNICAL TERMS, IM A DUMB FUCK REDNECK RETARD!!!!

>>14986420
Let's do it other way.
Name 1 dish that's better done in microwave rather than thrown on a pan or a baking sheet.
The only one I can think about is cacao.

>>14989273
white, flyover hands typed this post

>>14989353
yes the flyover region known as "USA"

>>14986420
It's good for some recipes, baked potatoes for example

I can't. Microwaves are useful for certain things if you are aware of their limitations. Baked potatoes, steamed vegetables, oatmeal, and thawing meat are great applications, for instance.

Reheating meals is also great if you take some effort and don't just throw it on max heat for 2 minutes. Either lower the power setting or take it out and stir every 30-45 seconds.

Microwaving oxidizes cholesterol in animal products more than any other cooking method. Don't microwave meats, eggs, anything with cholesterol and you'll be okay.

>>14990079
>seems to be true
Fuck. I've consumed six microwaved eggs a day for the last few months.

Do you see my point though?

That's a rather obsolete trope muh dude.

>>14986685
Microwaves have been shielded to mitigate harmful effects for the last 30 years dipshit

>>14990111
What the fuck is wrong with you

>>14990473
I don't like the taste of eggs, so I heat them in the microwave until they're more or less pasteurised and make a shake out of them.

>>14990484
just use raw?

>>14986480
>Uneven cooking
Do they even make microwaves anymore that don't have a built in turntable to rotate the food while it heats?
>Interferes with texture
There are plenty of soft foods and liquids that need heating/cooking where this isn't an issue.

>>14990537
Something something protein bioavailability, something something avidin.

>>14989276
Fag

I don't even have one. I get that it might come in handy sometimes but I just don't think I need one.

>>14986949
I use a stovetop kettle.

>>14992627
why would you make such a distinction between and electric kettle and a seperate heatsource one?

weird thing to focus on it's still the same appliance really

>>14986469
there is some truth. Read about interdimensional demons and frequency waves. They can enter through the disruption in the wavelength created by the microwave and other devices that produce inverse waves cancelling them out and latch onto you.

>>14986739
please stop posting like a retard. no one wants to see their whole screen filled with a single comment that barely says anything

>>14986847
If you're even remotely serious about cooking, you will need boiling water from time to time.
you can't beat a good electric kettle for that purpose.

>>14986420
I prefer an oven since it can do much more stuff, but if you just want to reheat stuff I see no problem.

>>14986420
Because 80% of the products require an 1100 watt oven to cook "properly" but you can still cook it just as well in a 700 watt by slapping an extra minute or two on the cooktime. Don't let the frozen foods industry trick you.
