IHOP Grade Hotcakes
How to make IHOP grade hotcakes is not very realistic. But some folks insist on knowing why despite elaborate preparation, their hotcakes look crummy and taste just as bad. The secret is to present...

Our local chorizo can pass for heavy-lift rocket fuel. One bit the size of a pea will flame tongue and palate. A good trick with edible chorizo is to layer SIX SHEETS of paper towel atop a plate.
Squeeze the chorizo out of its sausage tube and break it up. Crumble it as much as possible on top of the towels. Set the microwave on high and timer it for five minutes.
What is left is the best chorizo you'll ever eat. The now half pound grease soaked paper towels go into the trash. My friends are all Mexican. They flipped when they taste microwaved chorizo.
Fried in a pan, chorizo is much like biscuits and gravy -- a coronary seeking a victim. Doubt this fact. Then do your own test. One half pound fried in a pan versus the same microwaved as above. Dab the pan fried chorizo with paper towels. Heck WRAP the pan chorizo for all the good it will do :)
Then WEIGH the prepared product on a digital kitchen scale.
The difference is 100% fat. For younger folks, who cares right? They're immortal.
Pork Fat. Look it up.
Then come up with an argument that somehow it tastes better than microwave chorizo.
Yes I prepare link or Jimmy Dean sausage, and bacon in the microwave as well. If it tastes better and is less unhealthy where are all or any arguments at all for frying? I put severe restrictions on the amount of this stuff I consume, microwave or no.
Steamed vegetables are wonderful. Use a non transparent grocery plastic bag enclosing a plate of fresh vegetables and I cannot tell the difference between the two. Only I have a lot fewer dishes to wash. I add a teaspoon of water to help make steam. This is how I prepare those frozen vegetables. The microwave retains color. And timing can leave vegetables streamed but crispy.
Another hint. Potatoes. Fried. Before use, soak chips or shredded potatoes in a mixture of rather strong chicken bouillon for a couple of hours. Then dredge them through syrup Madrilena. Sugar syrup. Then fry. This is the secret McDonald's uses to turn 3rd quality frozen potatoes into their famous french fries.
Use cheap Krusteaz batter and onion rings to make drive in quality fried onion rings for Mexican friends and neighbors. They go nuts for them including the kids. Seven dollars worth of ingredients and a pan deep enough to deep fry in will make enough to feed a small community. I fed twenty plus birthday party attendees this way. They danged near ignored the cake!
