I am not really big on the nuclear oven. I use it to heat up water for bread making and for popcorn, that is about it.
For me, it somehow changes the texture of stuff, especially meat. Changes the structure of the popcorn too, but it is popcorn so who cares as long as it is fast and hot.
Things might ‘taste’ the same but certainly lose ‘mouth feel’ or ‘texture’ when nuked. I prefer to just toss stuff in a pan, hit it with some flame, stir it a bit and call it good.
Quite possibly it is all in my head. Folks certainly question what I got going on up there at times
Mom and Dad got one in… the late 1970’s I believe. I was still in High School anyway so before 1975. I was heating up leftovers and put some butter on the peas. The butter did not melt until the peas got hot enough to melt it. Same with the mashed potatoes. They got real hot, but the butter did not melt until I pulled it out and it sat for a minute. That made me question the whole nuclear over process and I never had one until I moved in with my sister a few years ago. That is when I found out it made the texture of stuff different.
