Tonight on Top Chef Masters, the quickfire challenge required using the microwave. For the first time, I thought I could beat any of those amazing chefs.
Between that and all the condensed milk discussion in the other thread, I got a craving for one of my favorite cookies- Six Layer Bars. They've got to be the fastest cookies ever. Anyway, I made them today subbing 1 oz of the butter with coconut oil (it worked well). I was curious because of the TC challenge and found the original recipe, (Usually, I make mine from memory with changes for using a 9X13) which had the date on it. Folks, I've been making these in the microwave since 1976. I have never made them in a regular oven.
Anyone else surprised at this episode? The elimination challenge was fun too, but then again, I am a geek from way back.
