Has anyone else noticed putting Flora vegan garlic butter in a microwave causes it to create plasma?

Posted by DutchOfBurdock@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 17 comments

I'm not a vegan, but Flora's vegan butter is absolutely amazing as an oil base for most cooking. I wanted to soften some refrigerated, solid for sandwiches. I placed a knob on a microwavable bowl and put on 30% heat for 2 mins. I heard weird noises, that I hadn't heard since I made a Jacobs Ladder back in college days. The freaking butter was creating plasma in my microwave. Only the garlic version of this butter does it. And I'm somewhat baffled. Anyone else?

Vegan butter is gentrified marge

Try a lit match, then you'll see real plasma.

I just do full power for like a couple seconds.... Why would you microwave it for that long? Lol

Mate. Plasma.

You should use little bursts of 20 secs or so until it’s melted.

2 minutes to soften a *knob* of 'butter'... And you walked away and left. YTA ( even if this isn't that sub)

How do you know someone’s not vegan? Don’t worry, if they use a vegan friendly product they’ll be quick to add an I’m not vegan disclaimer

I have no idea what plasma is and I'm glad I don't.

Two minutes would rejuvinate a dead fucking horse. Have you tried five seconds at 100%? Is this engagement bait? It's a joke, right? No-one is this dumb.

My boss told me about a technician he had once who tried to heat a solution in a plastic beaker on a hotplate.

Tbf a knob of butter for two minutes, even at 30% to soften is wild. 2 minutes in your hand would be enougb to melt it.

Was going to say, 2 minutes is fucking mental.

That's everything seperating. 30 sec at full power does the trick. Then extra time in 10 sec increments. I have CMPA and nailed the techniques to cook w it a while back.

Have you tried putting a cover on it?

I forsee an uptick in flora vegan garlic butter sales and a statistically significant increase in kitchen fires caused by microwaves.
