/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Yes

for reheating food, yes.

I don’t even have a microwave

Any other cooking is a waste in time, money spent, health, overall quality of food and cleanup
If you're not eating out microwaving is the only acceptable form of cooking

For reheating food or in the off chance I’m bag steaming frozen vegetables, yes.

The only “cooking” I use it for is potatoes for a minute or two before I pan fry them, and steaming fresh veggies. The steaming thing is kinda gross and at this point I should just get some kind of steaming equipment

>>14475859
Imagine cooking your frozen junk food in anything but an air fryer
Enjoy your mushy shit while I get it nice and CRISP

>>14475834
I dont even own one (not enough counter space)

>>14475834
waste of fucking space.

my office has two microwaves

>>14475881
I put mine on a small table since counterspace is virtually non existent in my apartment
It's in between my stove and fridge. I also use the top of the microwave as a tiny counter for when I cook on the stove.

>>14475834

i use this to clean my sponge nb

>>14475899
Do you ever use the Muslim microwave when nobody is looking?

>>14475834
it came with the house. you do live in a house and not some shithole apartment, right anon?

>>14475899
My work has a vegetable only microwave.

>>14475899
>>14475925
This is the kind of shit that makes me want to microwave a pork chop out of spite

>>14475834
Unironically no, I do not
>>14475854
>>14475862

>>14475962
Unironically I do

>>14475931
>>14475925
fuck you man, i wanted to kill the nasty beaner woman that would microwave fish in the fucking break room

>>14475972
My friend heated up his Indian food in an open concept office, he played the story down but I think a lot of people got mad at him

>>14475834
i try to avoid it at all costs but nigga sometiems i have eleftovers and am HANGRY, and dont have time to oven heat them i want them NOW

>>14475972
There's nothing wrong with fish, there's something wrong with you.

>>14475925
>no meat
>meat

>>14475925
What about vegetables cooked in bacon fat?

>>14475899
It needs a third for "That fucker who microwaves fish way before normal lunch time ONLY"

i freeze bean and rice burritos and they take 30minutes to cook in the toaster oven so i pop them in the microwave for 3 minutes and then toast in toaster for another 1.5minutes after

>>14475970
Why don't you just incorporate your leftovers into a new dish instead? In fact lots of great recipes require leftovers to work properly.

I don't even have one

>>14475972
Had a Malay in the office whose microwaved lunch would stink for hours

>>14475995

>not being a fish chad
>spreading your fish musk among the other employees to smell

>>14476014
fuck off, namefag

Normally I don't but leftover fried rice from chinese takeout reheats in a microwave pretty well so that's like the only thing I use it for. That and I sometimes use it as a kitchen timer.

>>14476167
Leftover fried rice is best refried in a pan with the other leftovers and some extra eggs to bulk it out.

>>14476172
Yes I'm sure that's better but a microwave delivers good enough results, and I say this as someone who otherwise never uses the microwave to reheat food, including other types of rice.

>>14476202
Why settle?

>>14476220
I did say take out, I've already chosen to settle. One is lazier than the other.

>>14476226
Why double down on your lazy decisions? Sunk cost fallacy.

>>14476231
I don't feel any guilt for occasionally choosing to be lazy. I know what I'm missing out on.

>>14476237
You're trying awfully hard to justify it rn

>>14476269
You're asking me to.

>>14476269
normally one would justify going to greater lengths, not less

>>14475834
Nope. Family never had one growing up. Never felt the need to own one as an adult. What’s the point besides laziness/impatience/abhorrent processed to fuck microwave “food”?

>>14475986
i like fish too you fucking mongrel, try to microwave some and you'll see how putrid it is

>>14476324
Fast, energy-efficient reheating of leftovers
Heating citrus before juicing
Warming milk for frothing
Quick vegetable steaming
Effortlessly melt chocolate or soften butter for baking
Tons of valid uses for microwaves.

I spent months microwaving eggs because it was "easy" before I tried it on the hob.
What a dumbass I was.

>>14476426
Ok so
>laziness
>impatience
got it

microwaves cause retardation and blindness
I bet all anons who need glasses now spent hours looking into the microwave at their hot pockets as kids

>>14476481
Doing things faster is only bad if it produces an inferior result. Otherwise you're just being inefficient.

>>14476506
Microwaved food tastes like garbage
