A curious thing happened Tuesday in New York City. A Michelin-starred chef fiddled with a microwave.
It might not be considered so odd as the chef in question was culinary experimenter Wylie Dufresne, who took to the dining room of his restaurant, WD-50, to make an egg dish with a microwave.
"I think microwaves are pretty neat," Dufresne said before his demonstration. The chef uses three standard microwaves in his kitchen and has been testing out this new model for the last three weeks.
"We realized we could poach in the microwave," he said. But it takes time ... 29 minutes to be precise.
Hear how he uses metal in the microwave after the jump.
