    Microwave Cooking for One — for Widows, I think is what’s implied.

    But her daughter is on the record saying it’s not sad … it’s empowering.

    Tbf when the microwave was invented it was all the rage. Restaurants were built around microwaves, including McDonald’s if I’m remembering correctly, although they’ve done a damn good job at erasing that from history

    That look kinda seems like she made all that food to eat it in front of a starving captive chained up in her basement

    If you can cook all that with a microwave… YOU are Chef Mike now

    I’d love to see the recipe for the thick slab of medium rare prime rib on the plate at the bottom of the picture.

    You don’t microwave your burgers?
    My highschool foods teacher explained that she prefers scrambled eggs from the microwave. Now I’ve been working in kitchens for most my life and still can’t eat the catering eggs used in hotels. Fucking gross.

    Nothing wrong with trying to learn to cook. Any way you get started is good

    Oh, wow, its only 10 bucks on eBay. I’m tempted to order it and see what kind of recipes it has.

    Chef Mike says that eating alone means you eat what you like and no one judges you so you will. Never be sad.

    How did she make a milkshake in the microwave

    lol classic, people shouldn’t knock it.

  18. I will say, microwaves are great when used thoughtfully. They are great for certain preparations, for example, you can cook a potato in a fraction of the time, cut it open, load it up with toppings, and finish it off in a toaster oven in a fraction of the time it would take to do the same thing using just an oven.
