CHALLENGE

ACCEPTED

And I will post the results, no matter how horrific.

It’s been hours...

ANOTHER SOUL HAS BEEN CLAIMED BY EL TOMAGO

mere mortals should not dabble in the unknown

I got busy at work! I was going to make it but then I did not. Rest assured I am simply ritually preparing for my ordeal.

EDIT: I'm actually doing it right now. The process is being documented.

RESULTS: The main problem was getting the water hot enough without blowing up my toaster oven. The internet says that actually boiling water in your toaster oven falls under the realm of Very Bad Ideas on account of how water backsplash will electrocute and/or destroy everything around your oven in an inferno of death.

To avoid this I heated the water at 400 degrees and kept a close eye on it to when it started to move, then spun up the water and in went the egg. You may also note that I do not have any pans, and am therefore using a pie tin. The timer has been set to FOUR MINUTES according to what the internet thinks is right, plus an extra minute in order to approximate doing this at what is effectively a lower heat.

Photos to come of end result.

You may note that it didn't really get to wrap up the top of the yolk in the whites. This is because it was hard to get a good whirpool going in a shallow pan. It did initially look like it was going to work properly, but died before it could really stick. Next attempt I will carefully stir the egg to continue the whirlpool.

It was, all in all, quite tasty, even if it came out as basically a sunny-side up egg cooked in hot water. Got a sort-of teardrop shape, at least. No trimming, I was quite sure it was going to be a disc in the end, but no.

This concludes "Unnecessarily risky office cooking with Dunamisdeos".

Good work. Looks like it came out almost perfect.

Agreed on the comparison to sunny-side up.

Now use it to cook a roast!
_{Seriously, don't cook a roast in a toaster oven.}

[Dunamisdeos]

I use it to cook chops of pork tenderloin all the time. It has a broiler setting :3

What can I add to a Wendy's Chocolate frosty to make it taste like a good hot chocolate?

I mean, in addition to homemade mint schnapps.

My mom used to that as well. It's how she killed 2 to 3 of them. Anything that actually cooks in a toaster oven tends to cover the insides in the residue from the cooking process. And since toaster ovens aren't really designed to be cleaned, it builds up and builds up until it basically turns in to a fire hazard.

A kitchen salamander is one thing. Those are big and easy to clean. Toaster ovens, not so much.

Additional coco powder, whole milk or half and half?

[Dunamisdeos]

This thing definitely doesn't have that problem.

Not sure if the broiler is lower temp or whatnot, but there's no splatter. Takes around 15m to broil a chop, wash the drip pan and it's good again.

Makin' one for lunch today, in fact.

[nenjin]

To be fair to her, she'd usually cover it in barbecue sauce too.

[Dunamisdeos]

Oh yeah mine is covered in, like, salt and pepper. Sometimes a sauce afterwards.

The less liquid you put into a toaster oven, the better. Bit of olive oil glazed over it to prevent it drying out works.

I have just read that there are people who make an otherwise reasonable pizza with no cheese. They then, after it's cooked, add cold cheese like that makes everything okay.

As a lactose intolerant person, I've heard people suggest pizza without cheese, to which I always answer "why would I want that?". Pizza is chewy bread, cheese, sauce (which is sometimes Ricotta Cheese), and some sort of toppings so you can pretend like it's a healthy meal. The cheese is the second most important ingredient, sometimes 2nd and 3rd most important.

But I have never before today heard of someone making a cheese-less heathen pizza, then putting cold cheese on it so it doesn't melt.

[Rolan7]

Yeah my housemate occasionally orders cheese-free pizza.  Not sure why.  Apparently he agrees, since it's pretty rare.  Lotsa tomato, some non-mammal meat, but he doesn't even like olives so what's even the point?

I'm now reminded of the classic "no cheese none pizza with left beef"

This shit. Having a lactose intolerant mom, and being intolerant myself until my later teenages, I grew up with this. It's actually remarkably decent.

*Ahem*... That is specifically None pizza with left beef. It's important to respect the classics.

[Dunamisdeos]

I like white pizza, but I require cheese.

But I have never before today heard of someone making a cheese-less heathen pizza, then putting cold cheese on it so it doesn't melt.

I've seen this before, actually, although in fairness the cheese in question was feta; someone apparently liked the basil chiffonade on margherita pizza enough to put half a salad on a cheeseless, bruschetta-like pizza, including feta and strawberries and a balsamic vinaigrette reduction.
