On 28 August 2025, my lab mate asked me how to cook sausages in the oven. He complained that even at maximum temperature, the sausages were still raw while the cheese slices he added on top were already burnt.
I had to explain to him that different foods have different materials and thickness. By logic, the thinner ones (like cheese) will cook much faster compared to something denser (like sausages). Which I have suggested to slice the sausage thinly next time.
I told him to try Googling or even asking ChatGPT for better instructions. Because that’s what I usually do. From there, I tweak the method to suit my own routine. For example, I prefer planning ahead. I’ll pop the sausages in the microwave for 2–3 minutes first, then transfer them into the oven at 150°C for 5–10 minutes.
While the oven works, I take the chance to go to the toilet and perform my Zohor prayer. By the time I’m done, the sausages are perfectly cooked and ready to eat. No waiting, no stress. Just efficient multitasking.
That’s how I like to manage my cooking: plan the time, plan the route, and make sure that when my task is finished, I can enjoy my meal in peace. Creativity and a bit of optimization make all the difference during lunch breaks.
Until then, have fun experimenting with your oven and microwave. You’ll be surprised at how much easier mealtime becomes when you plan it right.
