The amount of times I let my coffee get cold or leave food in the microwave is too damn high!

I use random memes like this one to remind me I have food in the oven.
My phone literally has a 10 minute timer saved called "Cool down"
Doesn't mean I remember to start it every time though lol
Cold fresh baked lasagna has a special place in my heart
Cold fresh baked lasagna, cut into servings, and reheated in the oven to get that melty crispy cheese on every side is one of the best things in the world. It's not an accident if the end result is better.
NGL that second bake sounds fire
With spaghetti I do a bake after the initial cook with layers of ricotta cheese and some garlicy bread crumbs on top and that turns out pretty good. Especially with some chunks of chicken in there.
Basically a lasagna with spaghetti noodles and a way bigger margin for error lol
Just realized that this is my 100th Lemmy post! Yay! π₯³
Leave-in thermometers are a real game changer
I need a timer to remind me that I have the oven pre-heating. The oven itself beeps when it's at temp, but it's super fuckin' quiet and I sometimes don't even hear it while reading at the kitchen table. The other day, I left the apartment while the oven was on because of this.
Yeah, my oven doesn't even beep at all! All I get to indicate is a small light that's hard to distinguish the on-off status of in most conditions going off with the faintest of clicks so I'm DEFINITELY Team Preheat Timer too π
That's literally why everyone uses a timer. If you could remember, you would just look at a clock to know how long it's been in. The timer is there to remind you.
Yeah, but there's a difference between forgetting to look at a clock and forgetting that you have a kitchen.
I never put anything in the oven without having the timer set and ready to start at the push of a button, because I have to, but I have accidentally preheated my oven for several hours many times.
Technically yes, but missing the point. Some people (ADHD or not) would straight forget that there is food in the oven
The amount of times I've torched a pizza because I forgot to start a timer and forgot it was in the oven is too damn high
Puts pizza in oven but don't have phone on me to start timer
"Shit, I got to go grab that"
Friend sends meme that comes through right as I'm picking up my phone
"Lol, I should send one myself"
Opens meme community to find one
Some time passes as memes are exchanged
Smells smoke
"Shit my pizza!"
Thereβs a difference between overcooking your food by a few minutes making it less palatable and forgetting it the oven making it a crisp 3 hours later when youβre hungry and go looking for food.
