how come i'm the only one who seems to use the power % on the microwave?
you wouldn't put the oven up to 100% and expect things to come out of it right, why do people do this with the microwave?
>>8411576
Oven and microwave heat differently. The oven heats via radiant heat, so if it's set too high then it can burn the outside of the food before the inside is cooked. That doesn't apply to a microwave because the heat doesn't travel from the outside in, rather it originates inside the food.
I have never noticed a situation in which it makes sense to lower the power setting on the microwave. Perhaps such a situation exists but I've never encountered it. Then again, all I use the microwave for is boiling small amounts of water and re-heating leftovers.
OTOH, I can't stand idiots who can't be bothered to set the timer correctly (or at least stand near the microwave and stop it as need be) and result in their food splattering all over the inside.
Not all microwaves offer this feature.
But y'know, slower and hence more even heating doesn't suddenly make microwaves amazing or anything. It's only very slightly different from manually waiting a bit in between two cycles.
Frozen Mexican food. Ever eat it? Favorite products? I have these Senora Verde "chimichangas" and I must say they seem indistinguishable from their burritos....
>>8411498
That's an oxymoron, mexican food is never frozen.
You're eating high fructose corn syrup, lard and soy textured meat substitute.

Real lard would cut into their profit margins.

How many of you have a rotisserie at home? If not what in the fuck is wrong with you!?
There is no better way to cook a chicken, that I know of.
Post recipes, and or pics.
Pic related: 5.5lb chicken rubbed with Mrs Dash chicken seasoning, spun for 1.25 hours, it is like a taste of heaven.

Can I have a crash course in oysters, /ck/? What do I need to know about them to pretend I'm a casual?
Oysters are farm raised now so the R rule doesn't apply.
There are lots of varieties but that doesn't really matter too much aside from variance in flavor.
The key to a good oyster place is turnover. You don't want to get an old dozen.
A skilled shucker will make upwards of $15/hr at an oyster joint because of the risk of injury and the need to make a nice clean cut.
Oysters should be garnished on the side with: Raw grated horseradish, limes, crackers, some sort of Louisiana hot sauce (Tabasco is standard but I prefer Crystal).
Oysters Bienville or Oysters Rockefeller are fucking delicious so don't be afraid to cook them.
Oyster stew is delicious with it's milky goodness but most people don't care for it.
The smoked oysters in a tin are actually pretty tasty and always popular at parties for snacks if you stick them next to a plate of crackers
Don't try to pretend that you like something that you don't really like.
I enjoy oysters, I normally just pop it in my mouth and press it up to the roof of my mouth and it pops and this delicious goop comes out, I chew it up and then swallow.
Oysters from different areas have different tastes.
Honestly though, just try it and remember you're not eating it to impress anyone.

Quality post, really.
What have you done you meme loving fucks
>>8412851
/ck/ memes are the most powerful memes of all. Slow burning, but impossible to get rid of.

Are you actually dense enough to believe that "'za" is a /ck/ invented term?
>>8412860
Well of course, nobody actually says "za" in real life.

I'm going to Japan for a while relatively soon, only problem is I hate Asian food. How do I build up my tolerance?
Pic ever so slightly releated
Asian food is bland af. Raw fish, plain rice, raw eggs. Disgusting
>>8412700
It's mostly the sauces Iike soy they cover everything with I can't stand. I love fish, just not when it's raw. I also have a weird thing with noodles where my body never lets me eat enough to fill me up.
>>8412683
lol white boi
Made this just now. Pls r8
>>8412288
Looks quite eatable, however the assembly is all wrong, messy. You should have cut them in half and spread the butter and jam.
I don't see any utensils. I can only imagine you eating this with your hands, slathering butter all over your face as you lick jam from between your fingers like a mong.
I once fell deeply in love with a blond chap from Berlin.
Sadly, it was not to be.
>>8412304
i mean i only way i could get a decent photo was to set it up this way, otherwise i put that shit in a bowl and break it apart with a spoon to work the butter and preserves into it and take big ass bites til nothings left
you can see a spoon handle behind the biscuit on the right
Nothin' like a nice Steel Reserve 40 at the end of the day.
If you're going to drink in public, you really can't waste too much time on being inconspicuous.

What am I going to eat tonight /ck/ ?
2 packs of instant ramen
decided to order a salmon burger and a caeser salad from some indian restaurant pretending to be an italian restaurant. god help me.
What's the point of going out to eat if you're just going to order a water?
>>8411904
>drinking the carbonated jew
could you be any more blue pilled
>>8411917
I only drink bourbon, which is the ultimate red pill from only red states.
>>8411904
Then it would be called "drinking out" or "going out to drink"
Been experimenting with popcorn by changing what fat I use to pop it.
Doing it on a gas stovetop in a 6 quart pot with lid. I put in 2 tablespoons of fat with 3 kernels, heat until the three pop, then put in about 1/3 cup popcorn and cover it until its done.
>Butter - standard, works great, tastes great
>Olive oil - grassy taste
>Bacon grease - smells good, but the end product has a greasy mouthfeel
>Vegetable oil - absolute shit. can't believe this was how my mom made popcorn when I was a kid.
Any other suggestions/strategies for making good popcorn? I have problems getting salt and seasonings to adhere to the popped corn.
avacado oil is what use
fucking coconut oil jesus christ it's what every one already uses just try google instead of wasting all this time
cocnut oil, kernels, flavacol. Mix together and pop and mix as it pops. Wow. Harddddd
ITT: Examples of other countries trying to cook what they think is American

One of our supermarkets has a store brand specializing in US-American food items. They sell
>chicken nugger
>frozen hamburgers
>chicken wings
>hamburger sauce (don't ask)
>popcorn
And then there's pic related. Yes, it is exactly what it looks like.
Mexico here.
We have the "Desayuno Americano" (american breakfast) that is the staple breakfast plate of almost all hotels in the country.
It has sunny side eggs, bacon, toast or pancakes with butter, and coffee or orange juice.
America doesn't have a cuisine
