I only keep it for my bird. He likes when it beeps.

>>17072451
For a second reading that I thought you had plans to microwave your bird

>>17072441
>Until you do this, you will never be a real cook.
I use one to reheat hotdogs, make mash taters, and cook steak.

>>17072457
>cooking steak with a microwave

>>17072441
>so bad at using a microwave he threw his out in frustration

>>17072470
Just heat it over the stove or in the oven. Microwaving ruins the texture and often heats things unevenly.

>>17072467
>not being smart enough to cook with a microwave.

>>17072453
But why would I microwave my teflon fumes detector buddy?

>>17072476

>>17072476
>Microwaving ruins the texture and often heats things unevenly.
So this is what mental retardation looks like.

>>17072441
Come up with better bait, you faggot ass zoomer son of a single white.

>/ck/ revealing its incompetence
Have you ever even seen an episode of Kitch Nightmares? Gordon Ramsay (very reputable chef!) tells them to throw out the microwave EVERY SINGLE TIME.

>>17072495
>Have you ever even seen an episode of Kitch Nightmares?
No.
>Gordon Ramsay (very reputable chef!) tells them to throw out the microwave EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Thanks for the explanation buttworms.

>>17072499
So do you microwave your steak until well done or medium rare?

>>17072451
Post pictures of your bird

>>17072504
I only m'wave it to well done if I have catsup. I'll have steak medium/medium well if there's no 'chup.

>>17072512
>medium well
Meant
>m'dium raw

>>17072441
I'm not proud of the fact that I've been cooking professionally for close to a decade, but I am pretty sure I qualify as a "real cook". Microwaves absolutely have their uses - here and there. If you haven't realized that you are not a "real cook".

>>17072522
Your restaurant clearly doesn't cook fresh to order. Disgusting.

>>17072534
>fresh to order
What do you imagine that even means?

>>17072540
Opposite of cooking it and letting it sit until a customer asks for it. You wouldn't have to reheat it in a microwave otherwise.

>>17072542
You can use the microwave to cook from scratch. You can even use the faucet hot water to cook.

>>17072542
Thanks for proving my point, and making it obvious that you've never stepped foot in a real kitchen. Nobody is heating up an entire meal in the fucking microwave; it's a tool, like a salamander.

>>17072441
How am I gonna warm up butter for toast or reheat mashed potatoes?

>>17072551
No but at the very least they heat up parts of the meal in a microwave, thereby damaging the flavor and texture.

>>17072559
>AHHH HOW DO I HEAT SOMETHING WITHOUT A MICROWAVE I AM GOING INSANE

>>17072561
>thereby damaging the flavor and texture
You keep digging yourself a bigger hole retard.

>>17072561
>thereby damaging the flavor and texture
You could say that about any cooking tool if you don't know how to use it.

>>17072567
Not an argument. Gordon Ramsay can tell when he's eating something that's been reheated in a microwave, every time.

>>17072568
There's no different way to use a microwave you fucking retard.

>>17072441
Microwaves are how I make my eggs so fluffy and evenly cooked inside and out.

>>17072571
He can't tell outside of the show.

>>17072571
>>17072574
You just keep proving my point. Ramsay asking if a dish was reheated in a microwave literally means that they made a plate of food, wrapped it up, and then reheated it in the microwave and served it. If you think that's the only way to use a microwave you don't know how to cook.

>>17072578
It's really hard to fuck up eggs with a m'wave.

>>17072578
Meanwhile I make better looking eggs daily, no microwave required.

>>17072589
Yep, you'll produce the same low quality eggs every time!

>>17072592

Dunno, those are some good looking eggs...

>>17072595

>DuRr eVeRyTHiNg mAdE iN MiCrOwAve bAd!!

>>17072600
Why would anyone cope over your lack of intelligence, and talent?

>>17072611
Yes.

>>17072608
There's not enough cloud like fluff to be sold professionally.

>>17072620
Presentation has nothing to do with actual quality.

>>17072592
They look gross friend

>>17072622
The presentation shows that there isn't any 'cream, or fluff' in the egg, so it was fucked up.
Should have used a microwave.

>>17072629
Wet scrambled with creme fraiche. Gordon Ramsay approved recipe, so it must be good.

>>17072638
Gordon Ramsay is a so far up his own ass he's forgot what good cooking is

>>17072638
Keep practising. One day you, and girdon might learn how to cook an egg properly.

>>17072644
What is that he's using, black pepper? There's literally nothing with that. The more pepper the better, and as an added bonus it helps with digestion.

>>17072476
Please tell me how a microwave ruins the texture of reheated soup.

>>17072579
Prove it. You can't.

>>17072655
Never heated up some soup over the stove? Absolutely delish... has a touch of a soul that a microwave just can't recreate.

>>17072589
Yeah cuz it cooks them perfect every time ^_^

Does Gordon Ramsey even cook in his restaurants?

>>17072672
The texture just wouldn't be the same compared to stovetop eggs...

>>17072685
Nah. You could just quickly finish ommelletes on a pan, but the texture you get from waving eggs is superior to just frying.

>>17072690
Think the radiation from microwaves has been hitting your brain too hard.

>>17072691
You don't even understand radiation? Explains a lot.

>>17072691
cope harder

>>17072672
>^_^
Go back to r3ddit, faggot.

>>17072693
No, I wouldn't. Because I don't use microwaves.

>>17072699
>No, I wouldn't. Because I don't use microwaves.
Did you graduate middle school?

>>17072704
Computer science degree. So, I of all people would recommend microwaves if they had any benefit. But I don't.

>>17072711
>Computer science degree.
Can you invert a binary tree?
>So, I of all people would recommend microwaves if they had any benefit.
What does not being able to do anything with a computer have anything to do with knowledge of how radiation works?
>But I don't.
Why would your oppinion mean anything? You probably couldn't even assemble a pc properly let alone know how to cook.

>>17072719
It implies having a good sense of technical knowledge, which pertains to microwaves.
>Why would your opinion mean anything?
It's not just my opinion, it's Gordon Ramsay's as well, the worlds most renown chef. When you start questioning him it's time to start questioning your abilities as a cook.

Good luck on your restaurant getting their first 1 star. You'll need it.

>>17072724
>It implies having a good sense of technical knowledge, which pertains to microwaves.
No it does not.
>Why would your opinion mean anything?
It's not just my opinion, it's Gordon Ramsay's as well, the worlds most renown chef. When you start questioning him it's time to start questioning your abilities as a cook.
It seems like you're basing your entire life off of what Gordon Ramsey said once on a tv show.
Seems more like horseshittery than sciencefuckery for a science anon.

>Good luck on your restaurant getting their first 1 star. You'll need it.
We had 3, but the city stopped sponsoring michelin guide. Good luck on your tech career as a diversity hire. Walking out in solidarity for genital mutilation really takes courage, and the fact that the company remains 100% operational while you're away means that you were really useful to the tech company.

>>17072746
>bro, the world's most famous chef just doesn't know what he's talking about
>t. random 4chan poster

>>17072754
>the world's most famous chef hasn't cooked in his restaurants for 2 decades.
He's a good restauranteur, but he fucks up when he's cooking random shit that he wouldn't even cook in his own restaurant while he was a head chef.

>>17072761
He's old enough to be a manager now, not a cook. But if it was still his job to cook these things you know damn well he'd do a better job than you. Quit cherry picking.

>>17072441
Thats fine. Im okay with not being a real cook if it means i occasionally use the microwave for convenience food or heating up my cold cup of coffee.

>>17072451
based bird owner. do you smell your birds feathers?

>>17072765
Maybe stop pouring coffee you don't intend to finish in time?

>>17072764
>He's old enough to be a manager now, not a cook. But if it was still his job to cook these things you know damn well he'd do a better job than you
He's the head Chef, not the individual station lead, so he's good at managing, but you can't expect him to be perfect at everything. It's like being a general doesn't mean you can do the most push ups, is the best sniper, and can operate a tank the best in the army.

>>17072779
Post an example of him "fucking things up" in your own words.

>>17072770
nah. il just stick to not being a real cook. Its easier and less stressful not having to adhere to the expectations of /ck/ users.
On the topics of real cooks, can a real cook let me know a recommendation of how to cook these goat legs/shoulders? Already made one into a curry. Want to do something different with the other ones.

>>17072783
>grilled cheese sandwich
>grilled burgers
>eggs
>pad thai
That's just what /ck/ has posted this week.

>>17072790
He made good food, even if it didn't meet the autistic standards of whatever chef he was trying to cook for.

>>17072792
He can make good food, but he can't make everything properly. That's also normal, because he's not an expert on every little detail. That's the point I'm making. He's a well respected "general", I respect him a lot, but I don't blindly follow what he does as scientific food law.

>>17072754
have you seen his ramen and his grilled cheese? gordon ramsey is a hack

>>17072790
>>17072792
he can't make ramen for shit. even instant noodles are better than the cauliflower bullshit he made

>>17072792
>he made good food
like a grilled cheese with burnt bread and unmelted cheese?

but how else am i going to boil my water?

>>17072495
>my cooking expertise comes from overdramatized reality TV
Explains a lot.

>>17072768
>Slides down railing

Good times

>>17072441
>If you don't cook over an open fire that you hand cut firewood for ur not a real man.
>If you don't walk a mile to the nearest stream to do your dishes you aren't a real woman

>>17073419
this but unironically
if you didn't grow/raise your own food and cook it over an open fire you started with sticks and hand cut firewood with water from the mile away stream can you even call yourself a chef

>>17072476
microwave is great for steaming vegetables and cooking whole potatoes, I also microwave my grilled cheeses a bit before frying if the cheese is cold

>>17072495
gordochai rams is a hack and a fraud, disregard anything he says

>>17072451
Based and wholesome

>>17072638
fuck off from my board you hack

>>17072662
Microwaves nuke the soul of food

>>17073779
>I also microwave my grilled cheeses a bit before frying if the cheese is cold
I like this idea

>>17072441
Microwaves are really convenient for reheating leftovers and great for cooking vegetables.

>>17073779
If you don't just wait for the cheese to stop being cold you aren't a real chef

>>17072559
Get a butter bell so you can always have room temperature butter. I’m serious those things are awesome.

But yeah keep the microwave for reheating leftover mashed potatos. OP is dumb

>>17073817
>real chef
Imagine worshipping food. Have you thought about to talking to a pastor or a therapist about this issue?

>>17073819
>butter bell
Is this a European term?
I see it on /ck/ all the time, but everyone I know just calls it a butter dish.

>>17072711
>cs
>physical science
Pick one

>>17073819
>Get a useless gimmick just like meeeee
Jesus christ

>>17073829
Butter bells use water to keep the butter from contacting air. It's a different thing altogether

>>17073833
I'm picking both and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

>>17073856
alright

>>17073836
Wet butter? Sign me up. Sounds like the french really have this figured out

>>17073836
Huh, thanks for educating me.
I’m still fine with a covered dish though. Never had any spoilage.

>>17073821
Imagine not being able to detect bait.

>>17072441
yeah ok im gonna toss out a $150 machine so it can take up space in a landfill because its somehow inherently bad

using a microwave exclusively as a cooking appliance, sure not the best

but im not firing up the stovetop just to reheat a cup of coffee

>>17075067
Didn't you hear? Gas is bad. You need to throw out your stove

>>17072495
>cheese, perfectly melted

>not making dishwasher salmon
ngmi

>>17072441
stfu noob, chef mike is the most based chef i know

>>17072441
exclusively keep mine to heat up cups of coffee that i forget to finish.

How do you guys take stuff out of the microwave without burning yourself? My oven mitt is too thick so I have to put my thumb all the way into the food on the plate to get a good grip sometimes. Is there a better solution?

>not using a microwave to heat the plates to keep the food warmer longer
Its like youve never owned a 5 star restaurant
