Where did "Nuke" come from? (meaning, microwave)

It was a misunderstanding of how microwave energy heats a substance. Some thought (and some still do think) that a microwave oven emits nuclear energy to cook the food "from the inside out"....

Microwaves are a low form of radiation so it is kind of like nuking your food

while pot-lucking a T-Day that's certainly suited to prepare dinner the dish the day earlier. go away it interior the refrigerator in one day, and take it to mom's day after right this moment. A turkey has to "relax" for 30 min after the oven earlier you may carve it. grab this opportunity to apply the already heat oven. At 350 tiers, the oven is able to re-warmth your casserole. conceal it in foil and pa it in! over the previous 10min or so upload greater French's Fried Onions and shop the foil off to crisp issues up somewhat. Voila! A piping warm Thanksgiving staple waiting to devour and you get to sleep in somewhat. solid good fortune!
