Did y’all know that microwaves aren’t magic and you need to mix your food?

Also, you might want to double check what your bowl is made of, and that it’s a microwave safe material. If the bowl is getting dramatically hotter than the food like that, the power is being absorbed by the bowl instead of being evenly distributed like neutral microwave-safe materials would.

blue paints/colors tend to be the worst culprits.

And yet oddly white bowls are the best right? Reflective!

However my best plates currently that don’t heat up are also straight black…

Materials matter folks. Just make sure they’re microwave safe and read the fine print that says they’re safe but not for longer than a minute at a time.

I’m looking at you wheat grass bowl fads on Amazon.

In a microwave oven, an assembly of cyprium, aluminium, and ferrum-impregnated clay is energized in such a way as to excite the aetheric medium, producing a beam of invisible energy which induces sympathetic vibrations in certain particulates in various solid and liquid foods, which results in heating of the food material.

But tell me again how it’s not magic.

Nonsense, my good fellow. It is well known that excitation of the aether produces corpuscles of light. How else could we see the stars in the firmament?

You do need to mix your food, but microwaves are obviously magic.

Well, any sufficiently advanced technology…

If you cook it on half power for twice as long, you can do one less thing (also IMO it tastes significantly better)
