Assistant Manager Devil posted:Work microwaves are a different weird issue, they always seem to be the strangest oddball cases. But I've bought at least four microwaves in the last decade, and they've always had that functionality despite my shopping criteria being "the cheapest usable option". What are you doing to your microwaves that has you burning through one every 2.5 years?

Assistant Manager Devil posted:My mind is completely boggled, how on earth is having a continuous timer that requires you to remember to check back on it easier than just hitting the 30-second button a couple times you don't have to remember to check back on it, you just make your coffee or whatever other kitchen stuff you're doing then when about the right amount of time has passed you go over and get it 10 seconds either way doesn't really matter in terms of food quality when it's already a microwaved hot pocket or whatever

Assistant Manager Devil posted:But that's literally having to remember to check back on it Yeah, but I do that anyway. I try to avoid ever letting alarms go off (wakeup alarms, kitchen timers, general reminder timers, whatever), so I always have to sit and stare at it the last 10-15 seconds so I can cancel it right before it hits zero.

Always enter times in increments of eleven seconds or seventy‐one seconds. Stuff that wants two minutes can either be 99 seconds or 2:22. Stuff that wants to be three minutes can be 2:22 or 3:33.

The horror stories I still remember from my childhood were about botulinum toxin (called the sausage plague in my local tongue). I was taught never to let sausages (or meat in general) sit out or go past their expiration date, because no matter how much you nuke whatever bacteria reside there, the poison they make will survive. I learned this before learning that it was a common cosmetic treatment to inject the sausage plague into your face. That was a trip.

Solice Kirsk posted:Microwaves give you cancer and fire puts tons of toxins in your food. Thanks for the memory of 19 year old me trying to explain to my "I want to eat raw natural foods" room mate: Cooking generally makes it easier for your body to absorb nutrients from the food. You are partially breaking down the molecular structure before it enters your body. Guess what your saliva does? It begins breaking down the molecular structure of the food. Guess what your stomach acid does? It breaks down the molecular structure of the food. Raw broccoli has less calories than cooked broccoli. A raw egg has less calories than a cooked egg. This does not mean the raw versions are healthier. This means they are less digestible. More of it goes right through you without being absorbed. That includes vitamins and minerals. You should eat plenty of raw foods. They can be delicious with little to no prep work. An abundant source of fiber. That doesn't mean that all cooked foods are innately evil and bad for you. I can get behind people going vegetarian or vegan for moral or health reasons, but the raw food only thing is demonstrably false and falls into the same category as antivaxx or tanning your butthole in a yoga pose to absorb light-food from the sun.

I was taught never to let sausages (or meat in general) sit out or go past their expiration date, because no matter how much you nuke whatever bacteria reside there, the poison they make will survive. Botulism will only grow in anaerobic conditions (no oxygen). Sausages are fine because they're exposed to air. Canned/bottled products are the main culprits because they're sealed away from air. It's also possible to get it from certain products in oil. Staph also produces toxin and will grow in aerobic conditions, but the poison is much less lethal.

What about sausages in sealed plastic? E: wait what the gently caress are you talking about botulism used to be known as a sausage disease. That was it's one widely known trait. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botulism#:~:text=The%20disease%20begins%20with%20weakness,consciousness%20or%20cause%20a%20fever. posted:The word is from Latin botulus, meaning sausage.

Platystemon posted:Don’t try to make your own wacky flavored olive oil or you risk breeding botulinum there. Some really high figure like 95% of all botulism cases are dumdums putting garlic (a dirty root vegetable) in olive oil (a nearly perfect bacteria and mold/fungus growing medium). It's practically guaranteed you will die if you do this and it will suck the whole time you're dying.

"This young doctor, Justinus Kerner, was the first person to identify botulinum toxin as the causative agent of a series of devastating outbreaks in Germany caused by suspiciously bad sausages. He is renowned for not only providing the first systematic clinical description of the toxin’s effects but also for testing it on himself and accurately prophesying its use as a curative for a variety of medical ailments." https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/the-bad-sausage-and-the-discovery-of-botulism
