Why do you hate microwaves?

[Anonymous No.6787383]

>>6787376

Because they're only good for popcorn or heating up some soup.

[Anonymous No.6787385]

I give up. Why?

[Anonymous No.6787386]

>>6787383
No, stove top popcorn is the best and heat up your soup in a pot you lazy fuck.

[Anonymous No.6787387]

They don't cook, they heat water molecules. They destroy nutrients. Microwaves are a punishment for being in a hurry. Do not allow one in your home.

Some of us simply don't have that much time, when you finally grow up you might start to understand this.

I don't. I use it to heat last night's left-overs for lunch.

[Anonymous No.6787468]

>>6787399

Nah, you've got plenty of time. You are simply choosing to prioritize something else above cooking.

I love microwaves

They let me browse porn on my phone, and you can repurpose a microwave oven into a lethal MASER

Yeah, sure thing fatty. Stop crying, it makes your fat jiggle.

Holy Shit.
The delusion.

[Anonymous No.6787568]

>>6787556
Well, technically heating food does "destroy" nutrients, but thinking that cooking in a stove destroys less than a microwave is retarded.

To be more accurate it alters nutrients via heating and bonding. Nothing is lost or created, that's a universal law.
Also people who claim raw food is more nutritious are full of shit. Just because some chick who crossfits told you that the paleo diet actually works doesn't mean you should trust her. As soon as you leave the area she runs to the bathroom to vomit and scream at herself in the mirror. True story.

Stop trying to make yourself feel better about being a loser, anon.

whats wrong, no one want to talk to you at work? you a bit introverted? looking for a passing bit of connection with the poor anons on /ck/?

don't worry anon, you'll be too busy tonight taking life seriously to heat up some soup on the stove or talk to friends

>I don't have 5 minutes to put some oil and kernels in a pot
>I don't have 2 minutes to pour out canned soup and heat it over the stove

Actually, let's remove the delusion altogether.
In your extremely busy and meaningful life where 2 minutes of devotion will throw off your entire schedule, there's still enough time for you to read and write nonsense on a Mongolian comic book forum.
In the time it took you to justify your laziness, you could've done both of those things, or you could've even learned how to wipe your own ass.

I actually don't have co-workers. This entire site is just me and two technicians who have a different shifts than I do.

>still trying to make himself feel better about being a loser
>implying I'm not on on FB socializing while also watching 30 Rock with my new pet grasshopper.

Its ok anon, one day you won't need to attack others online in some vain attempt to validate yourself.

It ok to not actually have an argument, but making one up from scratch is really reaching. Oh well, at least you tried I guess.

You're fucking retarded. You're shit posting all day and I've been drunk and high all day and replied less to this thread (I've got the day off)

When I'm working and in classes I still find the time to eat like a human instead of a lazy savage. You're the problem with cooking today, everyone wants fast and easy that's why Rachel Ray and McDonald's is popular. But I bet you come home and spend hours jacking off to cartoons and shit posting. Fucking retarded.

[Anonymous No.6787744]

I love my microwave. But its uses are limited, I grant you. Good for heating up a mug of water or milk. Of course, brilliant at heating leftovers. Hot pockets and some other frozen quick-to-eat foods are fine as well.

That's about it. I would never try and really cook any type of proper meal from scratch in there.

I regularly cook sashimi in my microwave.

>>6787376
Anyone who universally hates microwaves is a smug fuck who thinks they know more about cooking than they actually do. They get a bad reputation from being associated with shitty re-heated frozen dinners, but they're actually very useful. Lots of restaurants use them. You can even make pretty good food if you use specialized cookware like a ceramic microwave cooker.
When you microwave food you're basically steaming it from the inside out. Not all foods take well to being steamed, but that doesn't make them useless.

I like toaster ovens better

[Rangiri !1FyMZSvFHE No.6787858]

>>6787744
The reason hot pockets work is because they come with those crisping pads. There's similar equipment for microwave cooking that lets you make crispy foods. They're generally inferior to something cooked on a stove top but honestly for something like fast home cooking I think they're pretty decent. I wouldn't go to a restaurant that uses them but for what they are they can be useful.

Every other method of cooking imparts its own flavor onto the dish. Microwaves don't. Something tastes "off" about most microwave dishes.
