Okay ... Wylie has won one Michelin star for his NYC restaurant named after an oil. I'm not certain if he still has it, though. It's been awhile, apparently.

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!!!

You may **** a duck if you wish, Mr. ptlyon. That is between you and your God.

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.

I'm just taking issue with this. I'm not a fan of the microwave, but I'm willing to admit I may not have been using it in the proper applications and in the proper manner. At least the NYT reporter suggests it's one of the professional kitchen's secret tools.

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

It will be equally interesting when it comes out in paperback for $30.

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.

The Modernist Cuisine at Home book is nothing like any of those books. And I would genuinely be really surprised if it's ever out in paperback. It's a swank book - full-color, very high quality, huge, and gorgeous.

That'll buy something like 80 burgers on McDonalds' value menu.

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.

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.

I fear that, before long, we will be eating crispy parsley for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Could this be the end of creamed corn? I shudder at the thought.

Sponge cake out of a microwave is quite good. That technique was shown on the new Mind of a Chef show.

It's good, if you haven't seen it.

also, you can use your regular oven and make jerky or dried fruit without having to "dab" it off or making a mess. Simply set your oven around 150-170 degrees, crack the door open with a piece of balled up foil, and put it directly on the oven racks. Put some foil on the bottom rack to collect drippings. Great Jerky.
