bringmyfishback posted:Yeah, I'm not saying a Keurig doesn't produce hot water, I'm saying that producing hot water's sort of what it DOES. Like, it's perfectly legit to use it to make instant oatmeal or ramen or anything else (assuming, of course, that you aren't dumb enough to add a pod) but it's not really a hack. It's like saying, "Lifehack: spread peanut butter on apples, not just bread!" Yeah, it's a good idea, but it's still basically using peanut butter as intended. I think the "hack" comes from most (all?) of the consumer models don't have an option to just output hot water - you have to run them through a brew cycle. The commercial units have an option to just dispense hot water on demand:  e: doesn't make it any less stupid to call running it through a cycle without a cup inserted a "hack."

That garlic one is actually pretty handy, but you either have to crush it slightly with a knife or roll the garlic bulb a little bit to loosen the cloves. Actual garlic tip: slightly crush an unpeeled clove with the side of a knife and the skin starts to fall off.

Plus some brands have a wire panels that gently clamp on the toast to keep it centered. Doing this in some of those toasters will just gently caress it right up.

Angela Christine posted:Except it's usually a really bad cake recipe. To be fair, my wife does make a pretty awesome no-flour mug cake that actually uses real ingredients. It's something like two tablespoons of peanut butter, two tablespoons maple syrup, 1.5 tablespoons of cocoa powder, half a teaspoon of baking powder, half a teaspoon of vanilla, and one egg. Mix it up, microwave for a minute or so, get delicious mug cake (microwave time may vary). Granted, I wouldn't want to try that poo poo as a full-size cake, because the shape and size of a mug is what makes it possible for the baking powder to make the mixture rise; anything with greater area and shallower walls and the whole thing would just fall flat.

I use both methods, yours if I'm using less than one bulb and the shake in a bowl for more. I save so many seconds doing it.

The world's expert on grilled cheese tried this. quote:And here’s another tricky part, if your toaster is anything like mine, it will projectile-launch your toast four feet across the room when it decides it’s “done”. This is a serious issue. Cheese burns are no fun and they seriously feel like molten lava if they just so happen to launch out and hit you in the stomach while you’re wearing a bikini. It's not worth it. http://grilledcheesesocial.com/2011/09/06/brave-little-toaster-how-to-make-grilled-cheese-in-a-toaster/

The only thing I can figure is either that specific toaster didn't fling the bread out OR it did and the person that came up with it said gently caress it and posted it anyway. Or it was a joke. I can see how you could come up with that idea and go "that's brilliant....oh wait" after thinking about it for a few seconds. I can't imagine someone doing it, having their bread end up on the floor but then posting it anyway without knowing they'd get called out on it.
