Well done!

Pretty silly to see people fall for this rage bait. 135c is well past boiling lmao

It only makes sense if they meant 'pressure cook' or they live deep under the earth.

They didnt say boiled, "just 135C for 2h". So on a grill i guess? Or in the oven? Or fried in oil? I mean yeah the water still wont go beyond 100 but thats just the number they set i guess.

sous vide means vacuum sealed and submerged in a water bath with precisely controlled temperature for a long period of time

Once our thermometer got switched to C from F. Our chicken dinner never reached the temperature we set. It was like leather

135F (57C) is a pretty good temperature to sous-vide steak and have it medium.

how does one sear in a microwave? is it possible to learn this power?

Obviously the best steaks are boiled in a vat until they’re nice and dry.

I was thinking they set the machine to 135, didn't realize it was F, and as a non-American assumed it was C. They are way over the medium-rare cook that would have produced though. Still, if they then microwaved them long enough to produce a sear effect on the outside, that would explain the end result.

Your theory that it's just rage bait makes a lot of sense though. This is the internet.

I don't even think it was rage bait, just straight up caption humor. That somehow went over some people's heads.

I see but considering how confused this person is, maybe they just put the whole water bath in the oven or something.

There's microwaves with a grill function, but somehow I doubt they meant that...

I mean the image does say 135 C

Milk steak, boiled over hard, hold the milk please.

Yes, if the person erroneously conflated C and F on a machine that reads in F, they could have still typed C. Not saying that necessarily did happen, just that them typing C is consistent with that possible explanation,.

If you microwave for long enough, the outside would eventually be cooked into the resemblance of a sear. This has the unfortunate side effect of overcooking the inside, but it's sort of possible.

Some commercial sous vide machines cook with oil, and could be set to 135C

"Seared in the microwave" is the wildest cooking phrase I've ever heard. May as well have said "bake in the freezer". It's pure gibberish and attempting it is going to end in undesirable results.

It makes very very bad jerky.

Yeah, but please don't bring madness to insanity.

Lot of people don't understand that water not under pressure can't go over 100c.

That’s doesn’t really make sense. The water bath itself usually contains a heating element. Even in that scenario, the water temp is still limited to 100C, would boil off and the oven would just be cooking the sous vide equipment and the vacuum bag. The thermal limit is an inherent property of water where it transition from its liquid to gaseous phase.

How dare you. Take an upvote.

Juicy doesn't even begin to describe

Well that is 100% true

There exists microwave dishes, that are designed to absorb the microwaves and will heat up enough to actually fry/sear things

Apparently were quite popular in the 80s

With a side of your finest jelly beans, raw.

But the picture clearly shows 135°c

I'm a medium well enjoyer, but bud, the only reason meat should be this color is if it been brined, dry aged for 14 days, then left in a slow smoker for a week before being drenched in memphis BBQ sauce and served on a bulkie roll with Coleslaw and a sweet pickle slice.

Yep, I'm thinking either the person misunderstood the instructions and somehow got their water at 135 for that duration (which seems unlikely considering it would have boiled away) or they wrote the wrong unit on the post.

Deep fried in water vibes

It looks like a Tim Burton movie.

Congratulations, you now have rubber.

Maybe he was in a pressure chamber of some kind?

One of my ex's managed to burn water. I don't think she could fry things with it though. I banned her from the kitchen after that.
