For $600 you can buy one that stops the count down on its own at 1sec so that you don’t have to worry about your kitchen blowing up if you get sidetracked. Safety is always worth it to me. 🤨 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She bought it home 3 years ago and we use it every day. We want a better one, but this works just fine. It just needs a little extra time to cook. If something tells us to heat for a minute, we heat for 1:30. We have had way better microwaves and enjoyed them much more, but we have better ways to spend our money currently. Funny, I was just thinking about this the other day...I think I paid $35 for mine more than 20 years ago. Most solid thing in my kitchen...I've gone through 4 coffee makers since then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve tried to a few newer ones but not really happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't follow a recipe, but I did some overall research on it to get some ideas. Came out amazing and both the wife and I had it for dinner, and lunch twice - just finished it today. Can't beat $4.99 and not having to cook the chicken. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Boiling lobsters alive will be illegal as study confirms they feel pain It might soon be illegal to boil lobsters alive thanks to a government-commissioned study that confirmed crustaceans can feel pain just like us. The research done by the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) found that there was strong scientific evidence that these animals have the capacity to experience pain, distress or harm. This means that they will be recognised as sentient beings in the upcoming Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill. ‘The science is now clear that decapods and cephalopods can feel pain and therefore it is only right they are covered by this vital piece of legislation,’ said Animal welfare minister, Lord Goldsmith. ‘The amendment will also help remove a major inconsistency: octopuses and other cephalopods have been protected in science for years, but have not received any protection outside science until now,’ added Birch who is also the principal investigator on the Foundations of Animal Sentience (ASENT) project. The UK is set to take the lead on animal welfare by protecting these invertebrate animals that humans have often completely disregarded according to researchers. The report also recommended against the sale of live crabs and lobsters to untrained handlers, and extreme slaughter methods such as live boiling without stunning.

I would think that you would need to stick it under a broiler, or sear it in a CI skillet to crisp up the skin, after you pull it out of the bag.
