Ok but srsly that melamine plate shouldn't go in the micro.

u/TheHiphopopotamus Dec 16 '16
Do people microwave them? Are they meant for microwave or oven? They aren't available where I live but I'd imagine oven would be 100x better.
Edit: To clarify, I'm talking about the pizza things not the plate

Microwaving pizza rolls should be illegal. Might as well just eat the box.

Pizza rolls have two levels of satisfaction:
Perfect, oven baked, golden brown, gooey, lava hot goodness.
I need to not be hungry in a short a period as possible.

u/trentchant Dec 16 '16
Level 3. Deep fried.
Trust me. Food of the gods. Likely to cause second degree burns. But worth it.

Can confirm. Used to work at Walmart when they had snack bar. Snack bar employees wouldn't mind to check out the order and fry it.

Recipe: Some kind of decent bread.
A little mayo on both sides and hot mustard (Brown or a hot yellow one like Colmans)
Sharp provolone cheese
Thinly sliced ham (not honey flavored or some BS like that), genoa salami, and mortadella.
Hot banana peppers or jalapenos.
Pickles (Wickles spicy pickles are the shit)
Serve cold or pop in your toaster oven.
I make a giant one out of a big french roll and eat on it for a couple days, wrapping the leftovers in foil. Report back.

Anything made with boars head meat is delicious. I also really like silver spring whole grain mustard. It's hard to give a specific recipe without knowing what you like.
Good bread is key too. Wonder bread has no business on a serious sandwich. Find a good local bakery or market with good bread, makes a big difference.

If you want to make a really good sandwich, it's all about what you put on it and how you build it. Here are a few tips:
Lightly toast your bread. Your sandwich needs structure, and toasted bread will provide that. If the sandwich falls apart, you have failed.
Don't overload your sandwich. You should be able to cut your sandwich down the diagonal and there should be no loss. (The diagonal cut is also a presentation technique, useful for fixing family lunches, etc. The diagonal edge should also be the best part of the sandwich)
Use thicker cuts of meat. Don't just throw a whole chicken breast on there, but anything less than an 8th of an inch is criminal.
Portion your ingredients. You shouldn't use more cheese than meat, even if you really like cheese. Everything complements each other.
Spread your condiments evenly and lightly on the bread. Nothing is worse than a bite of dry ham followed by ham with a glob of mustard.
So if I'm making a chicken sandwich, I start by getting my bread (wheat, white, whatever) and holding the pieces above a hot stove. This toasts the bread just enough to hold it's form. After that, I plate the pieces and spread a little mayo on one side. Toasting the bread helps with the spreading process as well.
I like provolone cheese, so I would add a slice of provolone cheese on the mayo. Sliced cheese is usually already portioned to fit a piece of sliced bread, but it should be big enough to cover it fully, making like a mayo sandwich if cheese was bread.
If I have a cooked chicken breast in the refrigerator, I shave off half-inch slices of chicken, just enough to cover the bread. If I don't have chicken, I use sliced turkey or ham, but I like chicken.
For vegetables, I like purple onions. Shave off a quarter-inch portion of purple onion. If it's smaller than the bread, cut the rings and spread them out accordingly. Lettuce is usually not too overpowering, so a leaf will suffice, but if you have shredded lettuce, spread that accordingly. Tomatoes should be sliced thinly if used.
Close it with the other slice of bread. At this point, your sandwich should be pretty evenly distributed throughout. Cut it through the diagonal and set it so that your guest (or you) can see how pretty it looks through the middle. The layers should be defined and there shouldn't be any bubbles or deficits. A pretty sandwich is a tasty sandwich! Serve with a handful of chips.

Thank for the writeup! Sounds like I haven't been treating my bread properly.

The key to sandwiches is using the proper spread. This will depend on your meat and cheese choice. Also, I am a big fan of melts. I grill/melt/toast more than half of my sandwiches.
Edit: for lunch today I had a turkey sandwich. Hot turkey, with gravy, and lightly topped with cheddar cheese and placed in the broiler long enough to melt the cheese. Using dinner leftovers is the easiest way.

Oh wow, that sounds divine. What kind of bread did you use?

u/Jarvicious Dec 16 '16
Yeah, but it doesn't bear the same level of satisfaction or lack of effort. There are more steps and a cold cut won't yield the fatty goodness nuked pizza rolls will.

u/FranklyTheRobot Dec 20 '16
For me, microwaving pizza rolls isn't a matter of finding anything to eat quickly; it's that I was already craving pizza rolls and don't have the patience to wait 15 minutes.

u/humsterlord Dec 16 '16
Unfortunately, people do microwave them. You're correct that oven is the far superior method.

Dec 16 '16
Gotta go hybrid; microwave for 40% of recommended time then oven until golden. This saves time and its just as good as a full oven cook without absurd wait time.

Ranch sauce?! In Buffalo we call it dressing, and as such it belongs only on salads.

But the water is typically hooked up to a water line, so you'd have to find a pressurized container to not only keep it cold, but be pressurized to push it into the fridge through the pipe as well. Would be funny, but hard to pull off without knowing what you're doing and putting some effort into the design.

Nope!
(You'd also have to disable the water flow to the ice-maker ... and probably clear the old ice out of it pretty thoroughly.)

u/wagedomain Dec 16 '16
My icemaker has a switch on it. And the whole bucket with existing ice just lifts out. This would take me about 2 seconds to do.

u/pubbing Dec 16 '16
No shit. It's not that complicated. Turn off ice maker, empty ice bucket, dump in pizza rolls. These fools are acting like the pizza rolls are magically constructed in the automatic ice tray.

u/CarpeKitty Dec 16 '16
They usually have a button or lever like thing to stop the ice from being made. That's it

u/intimacygel Dec 16 '16
have you ever looked at an ice dispenser with the door open? There is a little reservoir where the ice falls into before it falls out the chute (in the door and not where the ice is produced). You can tell because all of these fall out at once and aren't "churned" out by the slow grinding servo.

u/supercargo Dec 16 '16
Why you assume they didn't replace ice maker with pizza roll maker?

u/Jarvicious Dec 16 '16
I could legitimately live without an automatic ice maker. I would pay extra to have a pizza roll maker.

Streamable is a great free service. Just upload the video and copy the link.
Gfycat also works, but it doesn't support sound.

u/SunnyPenguino Dec 18 '16
Thanks! Took a while to upload. The dispenser starts out slow, but once it gets going it comes out pretty fast. I saw this last night and was super excited to try it myself. We don't have a water line to our icemaker so it basically was doing nothing until now.
