Yeah I did it again Julia Child

[snugglestruggle]

They say it couldn't be done.
They said for God's sake it shouldn't be done
I said why? God's not going to eat it, I am.
Let the Quiche be nuked and it was.
When it cooled I cut a piece it and it was good.

Please tell me the pie crust was pre-baked.

i just puked a little bit in my mouth.

I am struggling to find the words to adequately convey how horrifying I find this.

 

[Fata Morgana]

Looks gangrenous.

 

[Cathleen]

I'll wait to judge if you're alive tomorrow morning.

It looks ok to me, a little flat but ok. Quiche is one of my favorite foods.

This guy seems to have figured out his place on the planet.

Yep I nuked it first on a low setting for 9minutes. Then took a kitchen torch to it (the kind used by chef's on crème brulee) for color.

You should have saved the chunky pieces for later. You could have them as a snack or put them in a quiche.

don't be fucking nasty.

I can't help it. I need therapy so you should feel pity for me.

 

[yossi]

No. I hate the way microwaves cook food.

 

[snugglestruggle]

Looks gangrenous.

Before I submit the recipe to a food network under microwavable meals I'm going to take 1 more shot at the crust, I don't like how the microwave cooked the crust it unevenly.

A Pie crust shield might do the trick. Either way if I decide to submit the recipe, I'm going to call it Fata's Gangrenous Quiche

I'm open to alternative names if you've objections lol

You can get items that will cook a crust in the microwave. I have seen them in wraps and covers.

Wraps & Covers? Is that like William & Sonoma? In a traditional oven the shield protects from exposure of direct heat. A microwave works differently so I'm not entirely sure about it. I know pot pies you cook in the microwave have that gray coating in the box which allows pie crust to brown and come out flaky.

I've actually enjoyed this exercise to see if it could be done.

 

[Cathleen]

Are you truly married to this microwave idea?

Try covering it with plastic and add a layer of dry beans. Prick the plastic to let the steam escape, cook 5-7 minutes.

Yes you can get the same thing that the pot pies have in both a wrap like a wax paper without the wax, and a thing like a cover that goes over the crust, or other bread item, that reflects the microwaves onto the item being cooked. You might could find them at Williams & Sonoma or Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Or maybe another kitchen supply store.

This is what I do but without the plastic and for a little longer.

That makes more sense to me. I just pop it in an oven though. Some things microwaves just don't do well.

Is the crust a nice texture, flaky? Is the color off? Not that that matters much in this recipe.

I rarely use my large gas oven. It heats up the house too much. I have a nice countertop electric oven that has regular, convection, broil, and several other settings. It will have the crust done before I have the filling ready to go in it. You can buy things that will cook, brown, and crisp bread products in the microwave, and I have owned them, but they never have the taste nor texture of oven baking. I had one in my restaurant years ago and never did use it for this reason.

Oh gosh this is funny.

A lot of the micro-quiche recipes are crustless. Oh there you go...Fata's Gangrenous Micro-Quiche.

While I have no doubt that the microwave can COOK the pie crust, I have to wonder just how TASTY it is.

Yeah, I use a counter top oven far more often than my regular oven for almost everything. Microwaves haven't conquered bread, and bread is too good to mess with, IMHO.

There is only one thing better than fresh bread with real butter.
