Episode notes
Reheat Food For Shorter Intervals
- Avoid microwaving food far longer than needed, especially in thin plastic containers.
- Reheat for shorter intervals to prevent melting the container and producing smoke.
Microwave Melting Carton Example
- Kevin describes repeatedly seeing Yama-chan microwave for about three minutes on a 700W microwave and melt cartons.
- He illustrates the problem by showing smoke and a deformed container.
No Single English Word For 'Nekojita'
- 'Nekojita' captures a cultural concept where some people can't tolerate very hot food.
- English lacks a precise single-word equivalent, with translations like 'unable to take hot food' or 'cat tongue' being used.
