The Oven - Adam

so as you are all aware I do my own shopping and cooking because of this everything I buy is almost all microwaveable. One day my roommates and I were eating and they asked me

"why don't you cook those pizza rolls in the oven they will taste better and be nice and crispy"

there is a huge difference between the microwave and the oven allow me to explain:

the kitchen is like a casino to me. There are all kinds of games to play and essentially you get the same out come, money (or in this case food). like any casino game higher the risk, higher the reward. obviously chips and fridge ready foods like yogurt are low risk they are like scratch off tickets.

the microwave in my eyes is the slot machine it takes no skill whatsoever to operate and it has a very insignificant cost like a nickel machine. you can't mess up food in the microwave you set it in there set the timer and boom its done and although it might not taste the best I got what I wanted and I'm ready to cash out

the oven in my eyes is like the craps table no one knows how the heck to play craps or probably a more accurate example would be the black jack table. You have to know what you are doing preheat the oven, set a separate timer, set the right temperature on the oven, flip the food halfway through. you leave the food in too long its burnt and uneatable or not long enough and its cold or uncooked. however if you are talented enough to be able to count cards the oven or black jack table can be the best place for you in the casino you will win big and walk out with a huge reward.

However I cannot count cards so for the time being I'll stick to my slot machine along with all the other grandmas for hours on end because although I can't burn the food there is a rare chance I'll land all 7's and hit pay dirt
