Microwaved pizza?
Never mind the maths. Something has gone TERRIBLY WRONG with the whole of society.

edit: hang on ... that's conventional oven times, isn't it? That'd be different sums. But fucking hell ... pizza should only take about three minutes. What the fuck is that shit made of?

Oh shit yes that was indeed oven not microwave, but the same ratio should apply shouldn't it?

Microwaves penetrate food so it should be pretty straightforward transfer of energy.
In conventional ovens the heat has to penetrate the food from the outside so it's going to be more complicated. Although I would imagine it's mostly done by spotty graduates in white coats poking things with thermometers rather than actual maths.

One of my old colleagues did her doctorate on finite element analysis of dissipation through heterogeneous fluids. Or "how baked beans get hot". Best/Shittest PhD title ever.

Baked beans should not be microwaved, unless there is no hob available.

What's your opinion on cheesy beans though?

I'm not sure I have one.
I do have a couple of sandwich toaster things at the bottom of a draw somewhere. They get dusted off every couple of years for five minutes of beans and cheese stoodent reminiscence. Then I remember that I can afford real food.

Haha, food to reminisce?
For me, that's chicken super noodles over chicken breasts.
