A metal plate inside popcorn bags? First time I've ever heard of that. The popcorn I get has no metal plate in the bag. Plus, last time I checked. Metal does not go into your microwave cooker when using it. And yes, I know the machine is made out of metal. But you still wouldn't throw a fork in there.
So this guy here...this guy...basically has a cooking channel where he films himself doing things that you could learn by asking the guy at the bus stop who screams at birds/small children/old ladies/and the invisible weatherman. I'd sub to that guy before adding this channel to my list.

I know you recommended not to store pasta and sauce together, but I have always found spaghetti tastes better the following day. I think it is because the sauce really gets a chance to soak into the noodles. Anyone else think second day spaghetti is better?
just heat the pasta through in the sauce in a pan, if its just under al dentay its will be pefect,,also if your storing cooked pasta add a splash of olive oil or veg oil and shake the bag to coat the pasta, this way the pasta wont become sticky and stuck together! avoid uses microwaves!
Jack, you're a lifesaver. Living alone, you tend to use the microwave more than you'd like. Reheated pasta and pizza was always an issue. And the nuked potato looks great for a quick and easy side dish. Many thanks.
This "chef" just said that every microwave is a little different... Ok ok, I have hope for this guy. "It will depend on how new or old your microwave wave is, the newer, the faster" then I lost all hope... Yeah because who cares how much power they have, it is all about the age of the microwave.
Also, the tips don't even make sense. The first one about using a plate to trap the moisture when it would also work if you heated it with the sauce which you have to do anyway so the sauce isn't cold.
i have a magic bullet ive had its for about 5 years or more...its red and its brill for doing small jobs...but its not good for big jobs...and if you use it for more than 2-3 mins you can smell the motor burning...it does say on the instructions not to use it for long periods of time...but its a good product.
I purposely left it out. I wanted to give you guys a break and I also will be moving viewer mail to the end of the show for people who just want to watch for the recipes and tips. I am try to improve the quality. The commercial will be back soon. LOL
the reason for high heat is to crisp and remove any moisture in the crust. How long did you leave it in. I would try a shorter time. Medium heat might not give the same crisping effect.
Nope, you can do it w/o water. The main problem with microwaving potato's is fining the correct time. If you undercook it, it will be hard in the middle. Just do as he said and stick a toothpick through the center to see if it is done.
veggies come out so much better in you put them a plastic storage baggie and leave it open just a crack to let out the steam so it doesn't blow. Cooks so much faster. You can put a damp paper towel in there also to speed it up even more.
hi jack, do you need to put any oil or anything in the pan before you put the pizza in, or do you just throw it in there? thanks! ps, i found it funny how the only thing you didn't try was the broccoli ;)
Another reason food cooks unevenly in microwaves is that microwaves use microwaves to cook food, pretty obvious, right? The thing is, it forms a 3d standing wave in the microwave. This means that there are nodes where the wave isn't moving at all, which means nothing will be heated at these points. You can observe this by cooking something that melts (cheese, chocolate), until it just starts melting. Then pull it out and you'll be able to see what I'm talking about. Microwaves are also safe.
I usually skip breakfast or have a health bar. I usually have a cup of coffee for breakfast which makes me not want food. Send my best wishes to Malaysia.
I think the easiest way to reheat pizza is by using a toaster oven. You can either set it to bake and put it in there for a few minutes or you can set it on toast and it comes out nice and crispy.
I used to always make herb potatoes in the microwave. Just cut them into squares with a little olive oil and seasoning and cook for about 12-15 minutes. It's so much faster than the oven when I'm super lazy. And thanks for the brocolli tip...I am no longer going to buy the pre-made brocolli steamers that come in the bags
dont use china bowls they tend to brake your mircowave. especially plasic bowls. i already broke mine mircowave. how do i repair mircowave or do i throw it out
when you store pasta and saucd together it absorbs into the pasta and turns the pasta into mush. You lose the firmness. Try it both ways and let me know.
Microwave ovens heat food by absorption of microwave radiation, this process starts on the surface of the food, however it does penetrate further into the food then by ordinary heating/boiling. If you have a very thick piece of food you can check that in fact there is a "skin" depth where the radiation is no more penetrating, that is why it is recommended to only heat thin and small portions of food at a time.
The microwave actually cooks the potato from the middle and out, so it is really easy to test if the potato is cooked. Just try to squish it - if it is squishy, it is ready :-)
Neat tip with the pizza! I heat mine up in the toaster oven, but I think I'm going to try this way next time I have leftovers. Looking forward to the Magic Bullet vid!
What? how could it. Nothing left the broccoli? it was all in tact and not a drop in the bowl. Please do me a favor. Show me a link to a reputable source that says this and I will retract my comment. Thanks.
Best way to reheat pizza: The oven. Almost all pizza places print the instructions to reheat in the oven on the box. I think it's even better than the fresh. To make a potato flower or whatever they are called, you need to roll the cooked potato on the counter while pressing down on it to break up the insides. I don't do it anymore because it isn't worth burning my hands.
hey Jack, when you cook the broccoli, you should add some water into it and it would cook faster and probably more thoroughly. I always do that and I only need to put it in the microwave for 2 - 3 minutes depending on how soft or crunchy I want it to be.
Awesome show as usual Jack. One thing though , and I am not trying to correct you to be a buzz kill, but, when it comes to microwaves, its about the wattage. It doesnt have too much to do with how new it is, just your wattage. Of course if you got a 1998 - 1000w and a 2008 - 1000w , I will have to believe the newer one will be better at cooking. Keep up the awesome shows , love em, oh yeah, tell your brother I love the pizza idea. Tried it, and its awesome.
@babychanel21 +1 On the use of a toaster oven. I just heat the toaster oven to 300F, when it's ready I just put the pizza straight on the rack for 10 minutes, comes out perfect.
i just tried the pizza thing this morning epic fail....the cheese did not melt at all i had to turn the heat down and flip the topping side down but after all it tasted quite good.
"I throw out leftover pizza all the time" - Jack Scalfani.
Jack pro tip: eat all of your pizza in one sitting to avoid throwing away leftovers
Lying with Jack
Why does this guy take SO long to say SO little?
+Mike Simms It's a good thing that he does that to give details on what is being done as opposed to others who say 2 words and supposedly it's magic.
Had a girlfriend like that once.....talk for an hour.......and She didn't say a damn thing.....
He loves the sound of his own voice
its beautiful. this is beautiful. that is beautiful. shit jack your only adjective for describing food is beautiful.
This was genuinely horrifying to watch. You have no taste in pasta or vegetables if you think these results are "beautiful".
There's a METAL PLATE in the popcorn bags, guys!

With the pizza, you can do the same thing with a panini press or George Foreman grill, too.

very cool thanks jak
Dude, while your pizza is in the pan, cover it up so that the heat will circulate. heating your pizza thoroughly.
It takes an hour for youtube to process and post the HQ version. Be patient. LOL
i have a magic bullet ive had its for about 5 years or more...its red and its brill for doing small jobs...but its not good for big jobs...and if you use it for more than 2-3 mins you can smell the motor burning...it does say on the instructions not to use it for long periods of time...but its a good product.

Skip lame things 2:55 (Tip number 1)
As soon as I saw Viewer Mail pop up I started skipping. Lol
Some of us are here to enjoy the full viewing experience, troll.
it's a flat strip of aluminum. It's in the bag just for heating up purposes.
I purposely left it out. I wanted to give you guys a break and I also will be moving viewer mail to the end of the show for people who just want to watch for the recipes and tips. I am try to improve the quality. The commercial will be back soon. LOL
Leftover spaghetti works in frypan too.
I look that direction off camera because it's just where I stare when I am thinking. I do it a few times an episode. It's just my thinking spot. LOL

15 minutes for a potato?
thanks for your taps they are vrey help full man
cause im living now alone i realy need to learn so of thes so keep it coming :)
it should do it perfectly.
try it my way and let me know which is better. I am curious.
Fixed it. Thanks.
Carefully poke a lot of holes in the potato.
Proceeds to stab vigorously without looking.

do you need to put any oil or anything in the pan before you put the pizza in, or do you just throw it in there?
thanks!
ps, i found it funny how the only thing you didn't try was the broccoli ;)
cold pizza is good simetimes.And if your hungry hay. everyone I know agrees with that. but it's great warm always.
Keep pressing 1!! You better believe it.
My brother usually puts the plate near the edge instead of the center, makes it heated more of the way through or something.
this method takes the moisture out of the crust. it fixes it.

Using 50% power is my tip of the day. Food comes out barely tasting nuked.
I usually skip breakfast or have a health bar. I usually have a cup of coffee for breakfast which makes me not want food.
Send my best wishes to Malaysia.
yes. time will vary. Just keep cooking until you can smoothly push a toothpick or fork into the potato.
I usually preheat the oven and put the pizza in there for a few mins or until the sizzle sounds right but thats neat ill try it next time
you gotta put foil over your pan when your want to cook it so the cheese will melt
lol ohh the torture of patience.
I think the easiest way to reheat pizza is by using a toaster oven. You can either set it to bake and put it in there for a few minutes or you can set it on toast and it comes out nice and crispy.
i always have a small squirt bottle of water i use for most thing i put in the microwave
another tip if you wrap the potato in plastic wrap it will only take like 5mins in the microwave
I used to always make herb potatoes in the microwave. Just cut them into squares with a little olive oil and seasoning and cook for about 12-15 minutes. It's so much faster than the oven when I'm super lazy. And thanks for the brocolli tip...I am no longer going to buy the pre-made brocolli steamers that come in the bags
i did that reheating pizza thing, and its awesome, i didn't think it would really work
dont use china bowls they tend to brake your mircowave. especially plasic bowls. i already broke mine mircowave. how do i repair mircowave or do i throw it out
Those didn't break your microwave you numb skull.

I love soggy pizza better than crispy
finally, somebody agrees with me
The microwave actually cooks the potato from the middle and out, so it is really easy to test if the potato is cooked. Just try to squish it - if it is squishy, it is ready :-)
My brother told me that he used to use the toaster oven and this is 100 times better. Just try it.
just until you can see it browning and you can start to smell the pizza in the air. You'll know. it will dry out the crust for you.
Neat tip with the pizza! I heat mine up in the toaster oven, but I think I'm going to try this way next time I have leftovers. Looking forward to the Magic Bullet vid!
I ate all the broccoli. I just edited it out, cause I needed to cut down my vid. i don't like them getting too long.
Man up and eat your pizza cold
What? how could it. Nothing left the broccoli? it was all in tact and not a drop in the bowl. Please do me a favor. Show me a link to a reputable source that says this and I will retract my comment. Thanks.
It was in there for maybe 5 seconds. Maybe I just have a super stove ;-)
I did 3/4 heat for the second piece and that turned out just beautiful.
Jack, don't disown me for this but it would have to be magic to make Pizza Hut pizza taste good...
you won't need to. Trust me. It will heat the entire thing in minutes. Just try it.
when I cook a potato in the micro I like to cover it with a wet paper towel. I never poked holes in mine though.

great pizza tip
Another thing that helps cook a potato faster is after you poke holes in it is soak in some water for a min or two
thank you for answering
thanks for the pizza trick
Dude, the best way to re-heat Pizza Hut pizza, is to NOT re-heat Pizza Hut pizza. I love cold pizza, and cold Pizza Hut pizza is the best.
You know what else you can do for pizza? Just pop it in a little toaster oven
bfn f
what?
hey Jack, when you cook the broccoli, you should add some water into it and it would cook faster and probably more thoroughly. I always do that and I only need to put it in the microwave for 2 - 3 minutes depending on how soft or crunchy I want it to be.
Awesome show as usual Jack.
One thing though , and I am not trying to correct you to be a buzz kill, but, when it comes to microwaves, its about the wattage. It doesnt have too much to do with how new it is, just your wattage. Of course if you got a 1998 - 1000w and a 2008 - 1000w , I will have to believe the newer one will be better at cooking.
Keep up the awesome shows , love em, oh yeah, tell your brother I love the pizza idea. Tried it, and its awesome.
Hey...If you have no ideas after the magic bullet can you do the bullet express?
NO WAY!!! Why didn't you tell me?
your show makes me hungry uggh =(
I ordered a whole pizza for the video. I didn't eat any of it. I literally ordered a pizza and put it away. I had to use something for the video. :-)
You can actually cook a potatoe on high for 3 minutes, you just have to let it 'rest' inside of the microwave for around 5 minutes
looks like you nailed it. You have a super stove. I am glad you know now what level to have it at. You willl love reheating pizza from now on.
we only do 4 packs, sorry. We do have a variety pack that is well worth it.
you should do a bloopers episode

On the use of a toaster oven. I just heat the toaster oven to 300F, when it's ready I just put the pizza straight on the rack for 10 minutes, comes out perfect.
i love your shows. oh and the last screen is sort of out of the screen. the website cant be seen. but im sure people will read your describtion box =)
Throwing out leftover pizza?! Mail me that shit, my friends call me the garbage man because I eat up all the "trash" :-P
lololol "you can totally fork it" 10:4
jak,can u do a lazy mans popcorn?
like a ball on a stick covered in chcolate mhmm
I tried it with high heat and it pretty much instantly burned the pizza at the bottom. I would set the heat to medium-high. That worked better for me.
i just tried the pizza thing this morning epic fail....the cheese did not melt at all i had to turn the heat down and flip the topping side down but after all it tasted quite good.
How did it break?
And did you get your money back?
Taught my mom the pasta tip. Worked like a charm. Thanks Jack, can't wait to try the pizza.
Soo... Why is that hilarious?
plastic wrap tends to melt and stick to food. I wouldn't recommend it.
its easier if you just wrap a damp paper towl around the pizza and microvave it for 30 it make the cheese melty and the topping crispy
I do. I just needed something for the video, so I went there. It was the closest place. I hate all the pizza places out here.
poke holes with fork and throw it in just raw. It will be great. promise.
You can totally "fork it!" LOL!
