Wylie Dufresne is a pretty well-known chef. "Wylie Dufresne has four commercial microwaves at his restaurant, WD-50, that he has used for various applications, including cooking foie gras (“beautiful results in terms of texture”) and vegetables. He likes the machine’s “hands-free element” and its consistency." |

Some things i regularly cook in a microwave are frozen veggies in a sealed container with a bit of water, leaves them perfectly cooked every time with plenty of crunch, if i'm in a hurry i'll steam a piece of fish that way also, with no really noticeable difference in quality, definitely bacon.
I use the broiler function it has to crisp up cold pizza, or even do the occasional steak under it. You can do some decent cooking in one. |

It looks really interesting, I'll give you that. It's clearly something quite different from your standard Betty Crocker Red Book or another damn Pioneer Woman cookbook, but with so much stuff available online, I'll just stick with that. I do like my set of Good Eats hardbacks, but three of those combined cost less than $100. |

Still, was the star awarded for his nuclearized foie gras? I do not know. But it gets worse. Foie gras is typically made from duck liver ... the fatter, the better. So, the growers stuff pipes down the throats of ducks in order to force feed the little ducks fat which, in turn, makes their liver fatter which, in turn, makes their poor, little fatty livers more desirable. It's an horrific practice. And your microwave hero condones the practice. Not only that, but he takes those poor, little ducks' livers and microwaves them!!! Good God, man!!! FAX |

I wouldn't want to use a microwave, **** that. I don't think it would be a great idea cooking out of the microwave a lot too, that just doesn't sit well with me.

In any case, I thought it was an interesting article, and I'm looking forward to reading more about it in the book. |

However, the fact remains that, simply because you can jiggle an atomic particle to the point that it heats itself up, does not mean you are creating superior cuisine. I don't care what the $100 dollar book says. Good food requires fire. Besides, what if there is a holocaust or Armageddon type of deal? What then? There will be no electricity and, therefore, no microwaves. Are we to starve or be reduced to eating raw food to survive? You have to think long-term about stuff like this. FAX |

Have there been sufficient studies done on the long-term effects of microwaved foie gras on humans? I sincerely doubt it. Yet here we are (without sufficient research being conducted), creating a new, popular movement to microwave our pate and eat it too. I ask you; do we know for certain that microwaved foie gras is not the predominant cause of dwarfism? Case closed. FAX |
