Warning: Please do not try making this. Seriously.
This was one of the disasters which came out of my kitchen that I can very clearly recall. It happened in the first week when my equally kitchen-disabled brother and I moved in together in Melbourne. We thought we’d refine our cooking skills by experimenting with a newly acquired microwave oven, because we thought that a machine should have better cooking sense than if we tried to pan fry free hand. It has been a decade since that unforgetable dish. Feels like yesterday though.

The steps for burning your lamb chops to the texture of a wooden table edge…
- Buy your first microwave oven.
- Disregard the instructions for use.
- Marinate the lamb chops with soy sauce, a bit of thick sweet soy sauce and Chinese five spice powder.
- Toss a coin with your brother on how long the microwave oven should be set at “High” for. Heads for 5 minutes, tails for 15.
- Chuck the chops in, choose “microwave on high” and enter 15:00 minutes.
- Serve chops with chainsaw.
