And how would microwave pancakes work, exactly? Would you still have to flip them?

You know her son bought her that microwave for Christmas, and she thinks maybe if she uses it every day he'll visit more often. Every time they talk on the phone, she goes and on about how much she loves the microwave he bought her.

There was an episode of Cutthroat Kitchen that was all grandmothers, and the final challenge was pies. One of the sabotages that a contestant got was having all heat sources removed except microwaves. I can't remember if she won, but she did successfully bake a pie in a microwave by using a ton of very short nukings and stirring in between each so it would all heat evenly. Turns out that as a grandmother cooking in a small house for a lot of people, she had become extremely adept at using the microwave for everything.

Apparently they're easy. This recipe was the first of like 100 that were all essentially the same.

I think they would be all steamy and spongy in texture, like those rice cooker pancakes.

I'm always struck in this thread by how starchy these meals are. Potatoes AND pasta? Bread AND mashed potatoes? I'm a fatty myself but I always try to limit the starch to one aspect and have plenty of veg and protein. Anyone else constantly icked out by how much starch people seem to eat?
combining foodstuffs with similar properties isn't inherently a problem.

eating them to excess is a problem

Anyone remember that post about how good and delicious Gansito were? They were really hyped about them.
Those things are amazing. One of the many great things about living in southern Texas is access to so much guddamn Mexican junk food like that. Another is being able to walk into a tortilleria and have them toss you a steaming hot, fresh tortilla right out of the oven to munch on while they're bagging up your order :toot:

:science: The "heat source" (Magnetron) in a microwave only has two states of on or off. When you set the power level to something less than 100%, the microwave is just turning the magnetron on and off accordingly.

Now, I personally do not own a microwave, but reheat leftovers at work, and I typically double conventional times and run them at 60-70% power depending on how dense what I'm heating is for the same reason of allowing the heat to transfer more evening.

Toast sandwich

quote:

A toast sandwich is a sandwich made by putting a thin slice of toast between two thin slices of bread with a layer of butter, and adding salt and pepper to taste. Its origins can be traced to the Victorian years.

Probably a dumb question: Why aren't hospitals of all places serving healthy food, especially to recovering patients? I've never been in a hospital for any real length of time. Or do IV drops provide most of the essential nutrients?

I know the cynical answer is probably gonna be 'cost', but still.

I would die in that hospital because I cannot eat bread. At least the hospital I was in had yogurt.

I know the cynical answer is probably gonna be 'cost', but still.

I work for a company that sells to hospitals, ACOs and physician groups and I can confirm, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that "cost" is the one and only factor involved beyond "what is the bare minimum that will not kill people".
Imagine the most cut-throat business imaginable and then imagine that there is constant pressure to pay your physicians ever increasing wages because of hyper-inflated costs of medical school, you are constantly harangued by boards of directors and outside market pressures to constantly update your technological portfolio, usually to the tune of several hundreds of thousands of dollars, and also you are now being legally required to accept a whole bunch of lovely people who now have government "insurance", which is causing a lot more people to engage the system than before and the government insurance usually only pays a fraction of the cost and tells the hospitals to suck it up.
If you ever see a hospital gouging costs for a person with private insurance, the main reason is socialized healthcare. And greed, but mostly socialized healthcare.
This is not a judgement statement, just a reflection on the current situation.
