Can we cook chicken fingers in a toaster?

This is the second evening of all the highways being closed. We didn’t really get all that much snow, but the 50mph winds aren’t leaving it in one place. Zero visibility and zero traction due to the freezing rain under the fresh snow don’t make for good driving.

I snowshoed to work today, more for the sake of doing it than actual necessity.

Update:

Four pop-up cycles at full strength, (with a minute to cool between because I have no idea what the duty cycle of the cheapest toaster you can buy is) and the IR thermometer shows an internal temp of 82°C. Not burnt on the exterior, so... If it’s stupid but it works?

I am very interested in the results of this scientific study. Please publish when the results are in and Oppositelock will peer review.

I predict a burnt exterior and undercooked interior.

This is a fantastic idea and I really hope it works out.

So how did they come out? And how much ketchup do you use?

I somehow feel like the microwave might be a better choice? Or possibly the oven if you’re really committed.

We just barely got the edge of the storm here in Steinbach. Nothing like out west though.

If successful with chicken fingers must also test fish-wich and jalapeno poppers.

The oven feels like overkill. The microwave seems... Wrong somehow and I expected it to make them mushy. But it seems to have worked out.

Also none. Gross. Honey dill and barbecue sauces.

That looks to have worked pretty well. I also now have a craving for chicken fingers despite having eaten chicken for dinner.

Once the highways open and I can get to a grocery store, maybe I’ll give it a shot.

Next challenge: chocolate chip cookies on the coffee pot burner.

Yeah it hasn’t been quite so bad up here as it was further south, I think the mountain kinda sheltered us a bit. Brandon’s been absolutely hammered this year.

Once the highway opens and I can go get chocolate chips... Although I suspect they’ll end up burnt on the bottom before the top cooks... Maybe if I make an “oven” out of foil?

Hahaha foolish peasant; cower before the supremacy of the toaster oven

Tick-tick-tick-tick-go-away-ding!

Obviously the correct solution but I don’t have enough counter space.

I can’t remember how we did it in college. Though I also doubt I cared if they were actually cooked.

Would accept sriracha as an alternate answer.

Good job.

I once made KD (cheese and all) in my roommate’s kettle. He wasn’t happy, but he also never did dishes and had used all our pots that week so they were all dirty.

He did start doing his dishes after that, though. I mean I did have to re-wash half of them before I used them but at least they were in the cupboard and not under a gross stack in the sink.

We have communal dishes in the office. That’s still my life!

Hmm. I’ve never really considered it. Chicken fingers seem to need more sweet and flavourful I think, but maybe I’ll give it a shot next time.

Don’t make KD in a kettle that has the element in the water. Major PITA to get the cheese sauce off of it. Not that I’d know...
