I once about 23 years ago was invited over a girlfriends mom for a roast beef dinner. I watched her put the roast in a microwave and blast it. I was in shock but didn’t say anything. She used the oven and did up some Yorkshire puddings quickly and already had some mashed potatoes. Next thing I know dinner is done. I was certain leather was being served. But to my utter surprise the roast was cooked perfectly medium rare and was to this day the second best piece of meat I have tasted. I don’t have the guts to take a $23 piece of meat and risk trying it myself.
- ethbr0 6y agoI think it's easy to fall into habits with appliances, whereby we artificially limit our use cases to safe / common ones. I found an Oster blender recipe book from the early 60s with recipes for all kinds of food prep... in a blender. Baking mixes, egg dishes, etc. Sure, part of it was marketing, but it made me realize how much familiarity circumscribes imagination.
