Microwaved vs. Oven-Baked Snack Taste Test

is cooking in the

oven

really better than in the microwave let's talk about that if you want your mythical gifts to arrive before Christmas the last day to order at the mythical store nationwide with standard shipping for guaranteed arrival on December 25 is today go to the mythical calm for all your last minute Christmas shopping and today we want to recognize Perry Spencer no, he's not our new intern, he's the man who made the man who invented Bagel Bites rich. I'm talking about the inventor of the microwave. Microwaves cook food miraculously fast, but the general assumption is that they don't make food miraculously tasty, huh?

You have to throw it in the

oven

if you want that or else. That's the question: are the extra minutes it would take to cook things in an oven really worth the wait, it's the oven. superior to the microwave or are we stupid to question mr. Perry said, sir, it's time for the late night

snack

s edition to be worth the wait and we want to thank the mythical beast k-dog woody, who submitted this idea that we're doing for this episode in the comments, let's see, we read the comments what do we do. ideas are sometimes good, k-dog, we have decided to try the late night

snack

s in each round, we will try a food that has been prepared in both the microwave and the conventional oven and then we will try to guess which one was cooked in the oven.

Yes, we'll find out if we're right and then decide if the oven version is really worth waiting for. Yes, in the end the winner will win a David Hill microwave. Well, thanks Dave. I'm going to use a new one. Microwave, as you can see, we can't and what you're not seeing is Bagel Bites, which is possibly my favorite late night snack. Sigh, to make eight of these it would take 1 minute and 45 seconds in the microwave or 14 minutes at 425 degrees in the oven, so give it a try guys, okay, it's a nice bite of a bagel. I've never actually had a bite of a bagel, well now they have, where have I been biting?

Oh, this is easy, yes, I'm inclined to base it on rubber. of the bread in one of them versus the crunchiness in the other no, but you can't rely too much on that no, no, that's not a good indicator plus the flavor is pretty similar otherwise and I like chewier things. which I like even more, I'm choosing the one in the oven, yes, so you will put your hand on the one that you think is in the oven or that came out of the oven and three, two, one, you are both right, you can take the blindfold off your eyes and they look totally different, that's why the blindfolds got a little crusty.

I mean, I know you like chewy things, but Matan, yeah, crusty bread like this is what the average person would prefer, right? I mean, if you're going to toast a bagel whatever. It's having a little bit there, so they're so different because the bread product, I think that's really what really makes it over the top, is the pens that you get, which is not, this is horrible, twelve minutes and 15 seconds, plus the preheating time in it. The oven adds even more time, but I mean, it's still less than 15 minutes and if you read a book, you can do a lot of little things during those 12 minutes, so the megabytes are worth the extra 12 minutes and 15 seconds.

More preheating time with the oven, yes. because of the bread because of the bread that's what you said Wow, you had Tyson hot wings before, oh I could smell them a lot of weight, I'm trying not to be a wing, that means taking four to five minutes in the microwave. or 18 to 20 minutes Oh, 400 degrees in the oven, we enjoy them at my house mm-hmm and I've made them both ways, huh? Oh, that's a tasty wing, so I feel like, oh yeah, I feel like I know the difference here. I felt like one of these is dramatically better than the other dramatically and I'm emphatically pointing out the one that's better that I'm going to vote for and now I'm pointing out the other one that will probably vote for the same thing because I said this is obvious, just FYI, Rhett has cleaned all the meat off his bones in a very imaginative way, yes, you are, you are a food eating maniac, can I help you? wing in the fighter's mouth and he will turn bones, okay, hands on the oven wings and three two one has to be this yes, yes, you can remain aware, yes, that this is dramatically different, oh God, if you order a wing like a joint pizza you're like Domino's and other places they wrap them in foil he other places man and then they deliver it to your house and it's soggy in fact this almost looks gross it's just spongy and there's nothing Crunchy at all if you're starving and it's like 1:00 a.m. m. and you can't wait 16 minutes maybe well, I would wait, I would wait half an hour, I would wait for you half an hour, I would wait 45, no, I wouldn't wait more than 59 minutes, but it prescribes an additional wait of 16 minutes.

It's worth it. Yes. Theisen hot wings are worth the extra 14 to 16 minutes. Yes, these should be discarded. The next three are the meat and cheese taquitos from El Monterrey. these take 1 minute and 15 seconds in the microwave or 12 minutes at 400 degrees in the oven alone. I will say that the taquitos have become longer, it is a good snack. Many things in the world are getting worse. The taquitos are getting longer. Yeah, wait a second, this isn't immediately obvious, well, yeah, okay, now I've taken a bite, right? I mean, you can't seem to match Christmas with what you have now.

Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas crispy on Christmas you're in the oven and my keeper Oh, mm-hmm, but you know what I think there's a big question mark on the back of this, okay, I think I know where you're going, but Let's first guess the hands on the oven three. two one, yeah, you guys are getting this right, okay, um, but you're interesting, you know, glasses on, we got it interesting, well, I have a seat, I'm going to make fun of myself for having to do it, it seems like not, no I thought so. the fact that they blindfolded you and it was like a man was preparing to read something like okay, I have a dig here, I mean, I can see without it, but they don't look very different, but there is considerably crunch here and there's a 10 minute and 45 second differential here and what I tried this first made me happy and if I didn't have this to compare it to I'm just saying I was in a happy zone you're saying that the crunchiness of a taquito isn't as important as its length, which is the same both ways, but let me ask you how many taquitos could you eat in 11 minutes because in time they come in a box, okay?

You could eat it all in the time you wait in a box, so I'm influencing your opinion because here I will say that it is not that good. A crunchy taquito is something that should be enjoyed at least bi-weekly, but on other nights, but man, listen to the visit. Yeah, this isn't about Chris' penis, it's about putting that little taco in your mouth and going to bed and you know why, because shooting first is like the difference between a crunchy taco and a soft taco, it's not, although it is still legitimate. writing a soft wing over crispy is unpleasant, unpleasant, but for you it's good either way, it's the soft talk.

Are these taquitos worth the extra 10 minutes and 45 seconds? Oh yeah, no, you guys have some tater tots in front of you. Eyes roll back. It takes about three and a half minutes for the bag to heat up in the microwave or 25 minutes at 450 degrees in the oven, that's a big difference. What happened there, they're stuck here, not that that tells you anything mmm, okay, hmm, huh, so what marked Josh off of Eve? then it is a brand or Ida tater tots, it is actually the only brand in the world that can use the term Tater Tot seriously, so you will see competitors using terms like tater crowns or golden rounds, change which Tater Tot round it is exclusive to orida. okay, I'm ready to vote, okay, three, two, one, yeah, yeah, um, yeah, that's easy to say, but wait, okay, listen, this is a weird thing that happens, okay, I just ruined two parts of that sentence because there's a lot going on in my brain right now these are clearly from the oven and they're crispy but they don't

taste

good these are soft a little sticky they

taste

more potato they taste better Did you know I'm actually a Tater Tot microwave evangelist? really yes, yes, one hundred percent, yes, well, what's going on, is there something scientifically, it tastes more like they taste more like legit potato, if you want, something was revealed, something that Tater Tot was trying to hide was revealed in the oven, you are losing too much moisture. in the oven when it all comes together, that's the magic, their moisture, they're too dry, that's what's happening.

I could wait 21 more minutes for the microwave, that's right, yes. I think what about refry, it's that legit, uh, it's legit, but I would say. let them thaw again. I eat a lot of tater tots before reframing, otherwise it gets too dark, so these tater tots are worth the extra 21 minutes and 30 seconds. Not at all, microwave is best unless you want to fry, which We're not talking about who is, finally we have Broccoli Cheddar Hot Pockets. One of these takes about two to three minutes to heat up in the microwave or 28 minutes at 350 degrees in the oven.

Wow, I'm so short. You have two. Oh. they've been sure inviting straight to the cross section, thank you, okay and Rhett, let's go for the queen sweep, double queen sweep. It stinks, boy, that's a stinky treat, it tastes bad. Does anyone eat these? Yeah, there are like four hundred and seventy-three flavors of Hot Pockets, it almost tastes fishy and I mean, there are four hundred and seventy-two better than the one you guys chose. These are my favorite hops. I can see the respect I have for you. Don't say one of them is marginally acceptable and the other is just evil personified and paka fide.

I'm ready to vote, yes, okay, you're ready to vote, yes, one for the Queen's sweep, yes, we agree, we're out, you've done it. Okay, no, thanks for the applause, guys. Queen sweeps don't happen every day. I've done it in a big way, but the thing is, it's worth the wait and I have to say that I'm definitely having a hard time making this decision because I hate them both. It's almost half an hour for something that is still unpleasant. What if it were a hot pocket worth eating? Know? What if Josh had decided to give us a different flavor?

I like one that doesn't have the Satan stem on it. on the same stalk there is something else, broccoli, but we are also talking about the house, 26 to 27 minutes, I mean, it's like it's a television show, I mean, like it's a half-hour comedy, are you Willing to sit still for that long? a long time in 2019, 26 to 27 minutes, it's a long time to wait, not at all, yes it improved marginally, but it's not that this isn't crispy, which you know how to say, because they have that special pocket that does it. crispy when I bit into that exact sleeve crispy when I bit into this crispy I wasn't immediately sure it was from the microwave it was when I bit into that that I knew it was from the oven yes, so its hot pockets were almost worth it.

Half an hour, no, absolutely not, and here's the breaking news, we have the Queen suite for both of us, so we both win or David's microwave, he's coming out. David's son, you see, listen, I feel cheated. Thanks, David, okay, no, that was it. It's not worth it, let me tell you, but what we also learned today is that the only two things we've tried that are worth the weight in the oven are the Bagel Bites and the wings mm-hmm, with the wings being especially worth it. weight the other things you can get by with a microwave thanks for liking, commenting and subscribing do you know what time it is I'm Spider-Man.
