Everyone loves the simple joy of a donut, but you’re just not living life until you’ve had a hot donut.
Edit: Change this up based on how many you’re warming up and how strong your microwave is. It takes a little bit of getting to know the donuts from your local shop and your microwave and how they interact.
If you like donuts, at least once in your life you have to find a Krispy Kreme brick and mortar with the donut machine and the neon hot now sign on. Don’t take it away, sit down and eat that hot melting donut at the table, sometimes you just gotta stop for a minute.
I like to eat raw donut dough, then drink hot oil and let it cook in my stomach.
I like to eat all the raw ingredients, do jumping jack, punch myself in the stomach a bunch of times, then drink the hot oil to cook them.
I think it must depend on the kind? more than 10 seconds would turn a glazed donut into soggy lava bread
Depends on the power of your microwave and how many you’re warming up. A single glazed donut in a 1200W microwave will be absolutely terrible after 15 seconds. But two glazed donuts in a 900W microwave will be divine after 20 seconds.
OP trying to ruin people’s donuts. Air fryer might make sense tho for 15-20 seconds
The trick is to lower the output power of your microwave to about 60% then heat them. It avoids the melting hot spots next to the cold dead spots. Also not soggy. Also much more uniform heat distribution. Works for anything.
Stop using your microwave at 100%!!!
Are there microwaves that change the power output? Every microwave ive used the power setting only cycle the power off. Like at 60% for 1 minute just means at even intervals the microwave is only on for 36 seconds out of the given minute.
My LG one I’ve had for a few years seems to vary the output. I don’t notice it turning on and off at least.
How do you do this with a microwave with a turning knob?
There is usually a power button you press, then hit 6 to set it to 60%
There’s this bakery I went to a long time ago that on weekends late at night they sell fresh made donuts out the back door in the parking lot. Absolutely divine
Fresh doughnuts are fairly common here (UK).
Have y’all really never had them fresh and hot? There’s nothing like it.
Morrisons doughnuts are the shiz
Our donuts come in a truck and get put on a rack. You’re lucky if they’re not getting stale at the edges.
'Murica
They often have stalls where they cook them in front of you and put them in a bag. Best thing in the world.
Here they do that at orchards and cider mills. Cider donuts are the best because they’re fresh made.
However the most popular donut chain no longer makes their own. Donuts are dropped off from a central bakery before opening and sit around all day until they’re gone. And the business seems surprised donuts don’t sell like they used to
Krispy Kreme, anyone?
Another quick LPT coming from a southerner who has been eating Krispy Kreme since the 70s. The perfect way to reheat a Krispy Kreme glazed donut is for exactly 10 seconds on high power in your microwave. This makes them perfectly hot and gooey, closest I’ve found to being fresh off the machine.
Or wait for the hot light on.
My man, I wish I could, but the closest Krispy Kreme is >30 miles (45 min or more depending on traffic) away on the other side of the city. It’s much easier to go to the local shop down the road and warm them at home. And then eat them in my jammies with a glass of milk lol
I gotta try this next time I’m buying a donut. Never thought about it
Make sure you buy extra coza microwave ruins donuts in my experience.
Extra coza? What?
Coz
Try this tip on your M&Ms as well! Just until the candy shell cracks.
