I've been getting such HUGE cantaloupes I split my Fruit Snacks in half and eat one half fresh and put the other half in the fridge.

I gently warm the refrigerated half on my microwave's "Time Defrost" setting for 30mins set to "Power Level" 1.

30 minutes "power level 1" is the equivalent of 3 minutes at high
power. Sheeit - Gary cooks raw chicken at that setting.

Arithmetically, maybe, but not in Reality! Going low and slow is NOT the same in Reality as high and fast!

You've described your fruit snacks with ice cream.
Why do you warm up the half cantaloupe?
I would think all of the fruit should be chilled
then ice cream added when it's time to eat.

I assume he meant 3 minutes on "power level 1" but I still
don't know why he would want to heat it. It's a cold fruit
dessert with ice cream.

I would assemble that fruit snack early, then refrigerate
it in a covered bowl until time to eat it later.

> Sheeit - Gary cooks raw chicken at that setting.

Cooking chicken in a microwave works well if you do it
right and don't need a crispy skin. Certainly NOT all
in 3 minutes though. Takes a series of small steps
in a covered bowl.

I like the warmth of the fruit to melt the ice cream to make yummy cream/fruit sauce.

Stupidmarket canteloupe is awful, it's picked green and once picked
any melon doesn't ripen... they're picked unripened to survive
transportation. We grow our own, once you've eaten vine ripened melon
you'll never go back.

If you grew your own and picked them fully ripened all you need do is
eat them warm from the sun... get it now, doody face? :-)
Melon is very easy to grow, we grow cantaloup, honeydew, and those
small watermelon.

First or second year I composted my front Garden Beds we has a voluntary cantaloupe plant which produced one of the best cantaloupes I ever ate! :-)

Good grief, I'm supposing the dummy doesn't know he can heat that cantaloupe
at 30 or 40% power for 3 minutes and dope would get the same results. It would
not be cooked, just warmed through.

No. It doesn't. Cooking meat in a microwave is so wrong.
Even *thawing* frozen raw meat in a microwave is wrong.
In the First Circle of Hell, you get to eat meat, at least
occasionally, but it's cooked in a microwave. The folks
consigned there will know that had they just been a bit
more virtuous, they'd be chowing down on deep fried
chicken in Heaven for eternity. You'd be like, "Ha, I
actually *like* microwaved meat," which would **** off
The Devil. I'd suggest that you pretend to not like
microwaved chicken, but those damned Usenet archives...

You could cook a hot dog in a microwave and it'll come out okay although some folks might say that a hot dog ain't "meat." I'm going to cook chicken hindquarters in a rotisserie tonight and tomorrow, the remainder will be cooked sous vide and fried. It'll be chicken heaven alright - especially for the chickens because they'll be dead.

Hot dogs are not raw. You can't "cook a hot dog in a microwave,"
because they're already cooked.

Better to boil them in a saucepan! Then when the water turns pink you can make Weenie Water Gravy! ;-)

It would be different if he was baking some sort of fruit tarts or
making a cobbler to top with ice cream. Heated up cantaloupe? YUK.

I didn't say I was BAKING them, I was warming them from refrigerator to room temp. as I'm about to do with a spoiling cantaloupe I put in the refrigerator earlier this evening. I may compost 1/2 and buy a new one tomorrow.

You can overcook one in a microwave.

No doubt Sheldon's hotdogs are raw. He'll grind his own
beef, spice it, mush it, then it should be cooked.

My brother in law once lived with roommates.
One morning he went into the kitchen to make a cup of
instant coffee (as usual)

He found a saucepan of water on the stove so he just heated
it up and made his coffee.

It was a morning shock to him. lol
Turned out it was "hot dog water" left on the stove from
the night before.

Don't let it interrupt your sleep, Steve. My time will be
correct on Sunday morning. That said, I'm about to lose this
old computer very soon anyway. Maybe even by Sunday morning.

I need to get a different email address today or tomorrow too.
As I mentioned, AT&T is finally canceling their dial-up
service.

As for the Win98 computer...still a good one with many
programs that I use. Just too old for internet use now.

In this house, even in winter, any fruit kept in the fridge doesn't
get 'warmed up' in a microwave. How bloody soft do you need to be to
be traumatised by chilled fruit?

Who mentioned anything about baking? Nice wastage of produce, too. All
that wasted fossil fuels was all for nothing. You made an American
eagle cry. I hope you're proud.

Warming a refrigerated melon for 30 minutes in a microwave?Â* I don't
care what setting you have it on, that is beyond cooked.

Nope, not if you set the microwave setting low and long enough.

Comes out barely warm!

Dipshit!

You must have the cheapest Chinese microwave on the planet if you can
"barely warm" a refrigerated cantaloupe after 30 minutes on low.Â* 30
minutes on a counter would bring it to room temperature, "dipshit".

He may be getting green cantaloupes, they are usually sold that
way. If so, he may find that cooking them softens them up enough to
eat, though they would probably not be sweet and rather tasteless.

Still good enough for a VSFS (vegetarian standard fruit snack)

Why is it in your fridge... only if cut open does it need
refrigeration. Melons live in the hot sun all growing season.
Once harvested keep it on your kitchen counter for up to 48 hours.
Melons do not ripen further once harvested... what you think you
smell as ripeness is the odor of fermentation/rot. Melons should not
be cut until it's time to eat them... pineapple the same. Some fruit
will ripen after harvest; tomatoes, pears, bananas... many will not.
Odds of anyone eating a field ripened pineapple on the US mainland is
very rare, only if someone brings it to you from where it's grown,
field ripened pineapple does not ship well... the closest you'll come
to field ripened pineapple on the US mainland is canned. Hawaii
doesn't grow much pineapple anymore, that real estate is too valuable
for farming. Most pineapple is grown in the Philipines, where labor
is far cheaper.
