What's the Deal With Hotdogs?
« on: August 28, 2004 06:51 pm CDT »
When you cook them on the grill, they get smaller but damn tasty.  When you boil them, they plump up and are also tasty.

BUT

When you cook them in the microwave, areas crinkle up and get wrinkly and white powder forms on the outside, for whatever reason.

It's a disgrace that such an American food can come out of the mickeywave so mutilated.  Hamburgers are the same way...they taste horrible from the microwave.

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

Hey Norm!  If you were a hotdog, would you eat yourself?

I know I would!  Heck, I'd cover myself in mustard and relish, I'd be delicious!

You call the things you buy in the stores that are already packaged hamburgers?

I was thinking more like leftover grilled burgers.

Oh, well then that should answer your question.. Not saying the microwave is safe though. After all, you are heating objects using radiation. Anyone with half a brain should know that isn't all that safe.

left over burgers, white stuff = fat.

hotdogs in microwave = cooking way too long.


I would guess that cooking a hotdog in the microwave causes all the moister to go away. Therefore the wrinkles are from it being dryed out.  Try soaking it in water before you cook it.

A microwave excites the water molecules, causing them to vibrate back and forth, causing friction, until the water evaporates.  Wrap the dogs in some plastic before putting them in the microwave, and the moisture will return to the dog.

plastic = bad idea. paper towel. better idea. wet paper towel even better.

What? And burn your fingers unwraping it? Aphex's idea sounds safer

I kissed a drunk girl on the lips.
This post, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read.

PUT A FORK IN TEH MICROWAV WITH YOR HOTDOG ITS FUNY

Nah.. a cool trick for real though, is to get a glass cup and put a CD on top of it, and then turn on your microwave for like 10 seconds.  It's really cool..
