Shiz Can't Cook Series: Microwaves Hate Me Too

I was heating up a frozen tamale from Trader Joe's today.

The instructions on the plastic wrap says "microwave for 5 to 7 minutes." So I heat up the tamale for 5 minutes.

But the tamale came out burnt.


All the cheese boiled out. Although it was crunchy and cheesy, so it was still yummy.

And the bottom side of the tamale was brick hard. It was a bit cracker-like, so I could still eat it.

There was no more cheese left inside the tamale. Boo!

I'll heat the tamales for 3 minutes next time.
