Funko Pops, to me.

I understand that some of them are fairly overpriced, but I also really like them as is. It doesn't work on all characters, but it sometimes work on a lot and there's so much representation and variety that it's good to have a few.

If people want to talk about waste of plastic and vinyl, they should bark at the companies who make teeny tiny figurines that serve no purpose and have so little detail that spending any money on them is a waste.

It's even the optimal way to cook some things, and people still avoid it.

Though I'd highlight that warming food up in a pan or pot on the stove is criminally underrated.

which food comes out better in a microwave?

[-] tacosplease@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Things with a lot of water evenly distributed. Potatoes, steamed vegetables, stuff like that. I've read it's good for making caramel too but haven't tried that one.

I recall it being great for sponge toffee, also fantastic for melting things like chocolate or other (non-culinary) stuff.

Oh melting chocolate, I need to try that next time. I'm always worried about burning the chocolate in the pot.

Everything I've seen says do it in 30s bursts and stir, apparently does a good job of melting it with breaking
