? Is that a thing?
I’ve realized (well, accepted that the recipe is right), that you should let certain salads marinate before eating them. Completely different flavor.
Yes, I’m curious if it’s because food companies actually got sued by people burning themselves, or if it was just thought of ahead of time.
I don’t think you can successfully sue over mildly burning your mouth. What loss can you claim?
The woman who sued mcdonalds for handing out cups of boiling coffee, required significant skin grafts after she got third degree burns all over her genitals, and was asking for her medical bills to be covered.
Mcdonalds, having been told multiple times to stop serving boiling coffee after other people got severe burns, got slapped hard, and has been trying to frame themselves as the victim so that they can’t get sued for burning people’s genitals off ever since.
It’s more likely a similar reason why you would let a cut of meat rest after taking it off heat. It allows the heat to even out and finish cooking.
Most food is boiling or hotter when you take it off the stove or out of the oven.
Lmao, yea it’s the last step on the package of just about every microwaveable food I’ve seen
Oh yeah on Microwaved food that makes sense. Especially if you heated it up at 100% power. The outside is hot, but the inside is still cold. Letting it stand for a few minutes evens out the temperature.
I usually just heat the food fully, then grab what else I need to eat it before heading to a table to eat it, and that’s usually enough time to even out.
I legitimately did not thought about ‘microwaveable food’, I legit thought there was some sort of wacky health benefit to just stand there for 3 minutes before eating anything My brain is rotten
To be clear, in addition to what others said, ‘stand’ here refers to letting it cool off for 3 minutes or so before eating.
Mmmmmmm burned roof of mouth, flesh seared and picking away at it with my tongue = good meal
Can we please stop spreading this myth? While tasty, it’s been scientifically proven that searing and eating the roof of your mouth is a poor nutritional choice as it lacks any substantial source of carbohydrates and fibre on its own.
Make sure to always prepare a side dish.
