Re: A Classic Puzzle

If you're fussy about your pizza crust, then the next time you do popcorn, save the reluctor from the bag, clean it up, and put it under the pizza. :-)

Why not put the feed horn on the side (where I thought they were) so the rotation more evenly cooks the food?

Likely not, unless you get the right marketeer to sell it. Then it doesn't matter.

I'm cheaper. I only use the cheapest paper plates, which can leak grease through almost as well as a sieve. My game is to use two, with a paper towel between them. Then normally I need only to change the top one.

I'm even cheaper still - I eat my leftover pizza cold! (I actually prefer them that way; it works better for many of the toppings that we like, such as mild blue cheese!)

Most things put in the microwave are much thinner than they are wide, so I'd expect a source from either below or above to more evenly cook the food than from aside; regardless of any rotation.

And if you're going to change a microwave to quicker heat soups and other liquids, why not take a microwave with a turn table, keep it as it is, and just hang a glass or plastic rod from the ceiling (somewhat off center) sticking into the liquid to let it stir?

This "leftover" pizza you are talking about, what is that?

Abigail

That slice that /was/ on /your/ plate, but you blinked.

(It's hard to see how it could get cold, though.)

I like the way you think, Abigail! Whilst we're perfectly capable of demolishing the whole-bleedin-family-sized pizza on a xxx-day night, we find that laziness takes over and leaving a bit for {xxx+1}-day lunchtime just makes good sense. In particular if it tastes better on the day after. (Yes, yes, we could just order two, I guess, but I'd need to sell my body down at the docks to pay for such extravagance.)

Phil

_You're_ cheap? I keep reusing the same paper plate! ;-)

Cheers! Rich

Apparently, American isn't your first language. ;-) "Leftovers" is the generic term for uneaten food that you save to eat later. Compare "doggy bag". ;-)

Kids: "Hey, Mom! What's for dinner?" Mom: "Leftovers." Kids: "Oh, boy, leftovers! Hooray!" ;-)

Cheers! Rich

Because it would be a PITA klooge? ;-)

Leftover pizza is a sound theoretical concept, like the Higgs boson, but it's rather difficult to detect in practice.

It isn't, but I've lived several years in the USA, and I still visit the country one or twice a year.

You mean, "pizza you save to eat later"? I'm not familiar with that concept.

Wierd American kids. When my mom uses to serve leftovers, it usually was a dish we didn't like the first time around (otherwise, there wouldn't be leftovers). Having been in the freezer for a couple of months usually didn't improve the taste....

... snip wierd unhandleable quotation system ...

Which doubtless led to well fed dogs once the kids figured out the normal result.

It's not like "save it for later" - it's like when you're so stuffed that you can't fit another bite into you without half-chewed pizza coming out your ears, so you leave the rest of the pizza sit there and eat it the next time you're hungry. ;-)

Maybe it's a bachelor phenomenon. ;-)

Cheers! Rich

No, that's a hog phenomenon. It's also a good way to end up diabetic. :(
