These recipes are not the usual ugly and creepy recipes I look for when I blog or search for a good, classic cookbook. I am trying to figure out how a whole turkey or a whole lobster can be cooked to perfection. It's possible, yes. Farfetched to the amateur cook. Hence the BS flags are going up.
Below are the cookbooks that were used. All the recipes and pictures look the same in each book. The only thing different is the cover and manufacturer and the adjective used to describe the "magic" or "adventure" within the book.

The MAGIC of Microwave by Magic Chef. No date of publication. The roast looks like it was cooked in the microwave. |

Kenmore didn't even try to come up with a description. |

Oy I would hate to open this microwave a few days later. A whole fish. Really? |

Half of a whole lobster. My scanner is apparently not as big as a 1980s microwave. But the two page spread is a beaut. There's even a lemon slice. |

I'm so grateful to have read the grisly description of lobstercide. It takes less time to cook one in a pot. |

I would love to meet the person who can pull off a crown from the microwave. They would be highly revered. |

This looks like the only thing that was cooked in a microwave. |

There had to be at least one molded ring. Eggs in a microwave? Good luck with that! |

The suspecting part of my mind feels that the same fish was used already.This one just has a pimento eye to cover up the lies and a crumb blanket to maintain some semblance of dignity. |
Notice I didn't say I would use my microwave for popcorn? That's another discussion for another time.
Thanks for reading!
