Add a dash of ADHD memory issues and this is almost guaranteed to burn your house down.
Yeah. I know myself too well to use this "hack"
Have you ever burnt tea (to dust from liquid and melted kettle handle in the process) while reheating it?
'tis but one of my life's achievements
I have fallen asleep while boiling hotdogs to wake up in a smoky mess with black tar hotdog welded to the bottom of the pot. And it was my brother's house.
My mom burnt a pot of spaghetti.
Yes, burnt. To a crisp.
I thought only Homer Simpson did that.
I have learned that some people do like to crisp them, whether that's intentional or not 😂 glances at my partner
Seeing as how you can sinter metal powder in a microwave, that's not too surprising. Burning food still takes some effort though.
One time I cooked two frozen pizzas at the same time, one melted through the grate while the other was still frozen. Pretty proud of that one.
Oh, and one time I scarred my brother so bad by making Kool-aid with salt instead of sugar that he stopped drinking it forever.
I once left a pot of water boiling for so long that the water boiled away and the bottom of the pan started to melt. When I took it off the burner, parts of the pot dripped on the floor and burned the linoleum.
I set my microwave to 2:00 and I'm always back in time to open it at exactly 1:59. So I think I'm going to use this hack.
I think you should probably heat your food for more than 1 second
Hm, I guess it would be more impressive if my internal clock allowed me to heat for exactly 1:59 seconds and open the microwave at 00:01. Maybe heat-pulsing food isn't the answer?
You'll lose your incentive. Godspeed.
I often put things on the microwave for like 20-30 minutes at power 2-3, just because I know I'm going to lose track of time (and things are usually better cooked slowly in the microwave, I find).
Also the microwave running has a nice white noise sound to me.
