"So, the box says that you can cook it for forty minutes in the toaster oven, or five minutes in the microwave. How about we do both and that should only take negative thirty five minutes." That's stoner logic for you. Maybe one day we'll have appliances smart enough to know what not to cook. For example, if you put a fork and a piece of steak in the microwave, it would only target the steak. Eventually the machines would turn on us and target us, but it'll be worth it for a while.

If your apartment doesn't have enough space for both a microwave and a toaster oven, you've got to make a choice. Don't do this. I'd suggest a microwave. The toaster oven makes far superior food, but the microwave oven is a versatile player.

Did You Know...

Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.

So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.

Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
