Stovetops haven't been a thing in most homes in over a decade. Everyone either heats up frozen meals or "cooks" separated ingredients in a special MealWave oven. True chefs are underrated for some reason that I still don't fully understand.

Luckily the world is burning, so many people just cook on the sidewalks. The smart cooks learned that the solar panels get pretty damn hot, so they've been hijacking the roofs. Electricity prices now vary with meal timings (as well as everything else).

You forget the Amish.

And Lehman’s Non-Electric Catalog is looking better than ever.

Citation?

Every home I've ever seen has a cook top. Everyone has pots and pans. What am I missing?

It's a fictional story about the future, like the one starting this thread. Took me a second too.

I read the same exact thing here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27638473

The future life and times of consumer us.

Pretty much everything, sadly.

Second this. Another nice technique if you have a toaster oven (or presumably any oven) is to toast the bread a bit first, then pull it out and butter it, then put it back in. Way better toast.

I just had this for breakfast, with scrambled eggs, mushrooms and cheese. Much recommend.

Is this not an ad for pan-fried bread?
