Buy a mini-oven, many times better than a microwave.

Am I the only on who noticed that the pie in the picture is actually a turkey pot pie, despite the thread title's claim? That changes everything...

Unless its just some stock photo and not one the OP took.

I'd say to oven anything that'd take over 10 minutes in a microwave. Ovens are more cost/time efficient vs a microwave when large amounts of food are considered.

Ovens also make stuff taste a lot better than microwaves, since microwaves leave the food mushy, while ovens make it crispy.

We should have a contest on the longest use of a microwave. I got 23 minutes once.

the worst thing about microwavable pot pies is that the top always collapses.

Quality blog, made me chuckle. 5/5.

Yeah I don't microwave stuff that takes ages... I throw it in the oven at that point.

I microwave stuff to quickly defrost and then i toss it in a toaster of some sort. An example would be a jamaican patty- nuke for 45 seconds, toss in a toaster/oven for a couple of minutes. Way better than waiting ages for the toaster/oven to defrost and do its thang.

Using a microwave to activate an object is very unlikely. You can determine the wavelength of the microwaves by putting marshmallows in and measuring the distance between the resulting peaks. If you then work out the energy carried by the EM waves, you'll begin to understand how microwaves actually work.

Essentially, microwaves heat up food by exciting electrons and vibrating molecules, specifically water. These are processes on the atomic and molecular scale. There is nowhere near enough energy to induce a nuclear reaction which is what you would need to make your food "radioactive".

The term "nuke" your food is very misleading.

I seem to recall hearing that modern microwaves don't have fixed positions for the maximum constructive interference anymore like the old ones used to (and that's not taking into account the annoyance of the rotating dish for conducting this experiment.

Well, roughly speaking, if we idealized your pie to being water, that would be roughly 454g of water, meaning that water, with its heat capacity of 4.184/4.186J/g°C would need roughly 3.80x10^5 Joules to get the contents to 200°C + another 1.51x10^5 Joules to convert it from ice to water. Assuming your microwaves outputs 1000W or 1000J/s, that's 531 seconds, or almost 9 minutes. Throw in the fact that microwaving food is going to bring in substantive losses of heat and other variables, and you've got 15 minutes.

I didn't double check the math but I love this post lol.

Why are you putting it in the MICROWAVE?

Those things can be baked in the oven, taste better, and take less than fifteen minutes.

for reals. 15 minutes of microwave seconds is like an eternity. Might as well throw that bitch in the over and get it crispy.
