Gourmet Microwave Cooking for One - 10 Minute Power Hour 

this is like watching my last two braincells trying to create one single thought

Dan- "did you wash your hands?" also Dan- *spits in meatloaf*

It disappoints me that no one is talking about how Tucker focused the camera on a fly at one point as if that was the most entertaining thing.

Just got an ad for Gordon Ramsay’s masterclass. There is a joke somewhere I’m just not smart enough to make it.

This feels like it's the first time they: 1: Used a microwave. 2: Cooked food.

I'm fairly convinced Dan doesn't eat food "meat comes in tubes?" "I hate fast food" "Man food is gross" -Dan Avidan 2019

the grumps in a nutshell: arin: does something dumb arin: realizes his mistake arin: panics dan: laughs and then reacts r e p e a t

I love how Arin was genuinely surprised and happy to hear Dan call him his Best Friend, only to be shot down with the line "Well, not my best Best Friend"

I literally have that microwave. It undercooks everything because it's only 700 watts, where most recipes are based on 1000 watts or more.

Arin: *Puts nearly no salt at all* Also Arin: "It's not... Flavorful..."

Having worked on a construction crew, I can say that being able to cook a full meal using only what you find in a hotel room is an extremely useful skill.

"We need 4oz." "This is 16oz so half of this." *bruh*

"I've never experienced such a thing before!" Someone get Arin some Vegemite and see how that goes

Dan: "I have a sensitive tummy and eating one piece of a chicken nuggie makes me feel queasy" Also Dan: *Ingests straight up olive oil and lemon juice*

Arin: *eyeballs half the ingredients like he has any clue what he's doing* Also Arin: "This is awful"

This was the most serious they've ever taken a cooking video, and I'm pretty sure it's because Arin REALLY wanted to prove this concept ISN'T sad.

"I'm fail, but I still need to eat tho" needs to be on a tshirt

Arin: Hey, do you wanna try some of this meatloaf or fish? Dan: No, that's disgusting! *proceeds to consume breadcrumbs, olive oil and lemon juice concentrate*

Dan attempting to eat anything of a powder like consistency then coughing it out will always be the highlight of these videos for me

Arin: You eate this one? Dan: Am I? Arin: Yeah Dan: nññnnnh.. Communication 10/10 at 7:00

Dan: looks pretty done to me The “meatloaf”: *drips blood*

Dan: Puts in 3 grains of salt. Arin: Woah, dude, that's enough. Also Arin: Hm, doesn't taste like much. I wonder why.

Arin's line, "I"m failed, I still need to eat though" popped into my head a few days ago when I was eating two double sausage croissanwiches at Burger King, while having an absolutely GOD AWFUL morning at work due to sleep deprivation. Also the intense depression, mostly that. Awful sandwich, the single isn't as bad but I swear 90% of fast food breakfast is flaming garbage. The eggs have less seasoning than the Grumps put on their meatloaf here, and it has the texture of like... it's as if a mad scientist found a way to make air into a solid at room temperature.

My favorite thing ever is when Dan laughs so hard that he falls against Arins shoulder

“That’s the saddest thing ive ever heard-“ “ITS NOT SAD OK? HER DAUGHTER HAS GONE ON RECORD SAYING ITS NOT SAD!”

Arin: it's really good for you Dan: is it? Arin: glark

Arin: *picks up a whole bottle of browning sauce, which you only use a few drops of for a whole pot of soup* Also Arin: *chugs it*

Are they even human? Dan acts like hes never seen food in his life and Arin acts like hes never cooked something before

Arin: *almost dies from gravy juice* Also arin: I NEED TO WASH IT DOWN WITH *LEMON*

12:39 “Wow look it’s a solid pu- “ *chemical fumes hit Arin’s nose*

Ike is really cute, his presence totally evened out the hot mess that was the rest of the video

10 years from now: "Gee friend, can you believe that it's been 10 years since we lost both Grump, and Not So Grump to salmonella?"

Next week's Power Hour: Arin and Dan cope with food poisoning.

9:30 literally looks like when I wake up at 3:00 AM to see my cat throwing up on my floor

7:20 Arin: Defrost... Dan: okie Arin: ....At 30% power- SHHH *beats up microwave*

Dan's turning the tables and getting his bodily fluid everywhere instead of Arin.

Dan: "Microwave cooking for one." Me: Hey, that's my entire cooking style wrapped up into one sentence! I should buy that cookbook. Dan: That's one of the saddest things I've ever heard. Me: *backs away in shame*

Imagine these two men were one. Now you have the perfect picture of me cooking on my own.

Dan: "Can you just eat bread crumbs?" Arin: "Sure!" Dan: "What'll happen?" Arin: "Uhh, you'll digest them and.. poop them out later." Dan: ...... *PFOOFKK*

Dan: has a sensitive stomach Also dan: drinks Oil straight from the bottle

"So what are we doing today Arin?" "Subscribing to the Grumps!" *Maniac laugh* "So organic" Bruh this killed me

Dan: Microwave Cooking for One... Me: That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever heard. Dan: That’s one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard.

"I am failed. I still need to eat though." Truer words were never spoken

I love how Tucker went from the quiet and reserved guy on SuperMega to the loud demanding director on the Grumps

For anyone wondering, Worcestershire sauce is pronounced “woos, ter, sh, ure, sauce” you heard it here first from someone from Worcestershire

13:50 He looks like an old man that realized his Yogurt bucket got swapped with the paint buckets.

Arin: *violently pukes* Also Arin: "It wasn't that bad."

Something about cooking meat in a microwave really makes me uncomfortable

4:08 "I p-ought you p-ight p-ant p-extra p-EADCRUMBS!"

Arin: I need to wash it down with lemon That reminds me of cartoons where they mistaken hit sause for milk and it's even more hot LOL

Arin: its really good for you Dan: is it? Arin: *gagging wookie sound*

this entire episode is just "is that okay?" *worried shrug* and that is absolutely terrifying knowing that they are handling raw food

6:11 the most oddly satisfying thing, you can see the steam being blown off of the meatloaf

I feel like every time a 10 minute power hour involves food or making food in any form, it rapidly devolves into Arin putting as much of the weirdest combination on the table into his mouth as he can manage

9:33 Arin: "It's really good for you." Dan: _spasms_ "Really?" Arin: *nods in gghheaagh*

I love Dan's comment of "First time with paper towels Arin?" when this seems like the first time for both of them ever encountering the process of making food.

0:21 Ngl they had us in the first half.

5:48 got me crying dan sings so well

"I'm failed, I still need to eat tho" is the most relatable shit

13:49 that is the face your dog makes when he realizes he's eaten something that he shouldn't have and he doesn't know whether it's because you'll be mad at him for eating it or because it's bad for him, but he can't figure out which one it is.

5:53 - in which Dan looks at Tucker, unsure of whether or not his love for and random singing of 80's rock music is a good bit,

This is just how my dad cooks, he looks at the ingredients and just picks whatever amount until things taste great.

Auto captions said “Danielle iodine” Which should be Daniels stripper name

Dan: “I haven’t eaten fast food in 15 years.” Also Dan: (Pours oil directly into his mouth)

I love how arin is careless with food and dan is super picky

I went on a huge 10 minute power hour binge watch back in November/December alone in my apartment while i was pretty down and sad about life and such. Rewatching a bunch of these episodes now in a better and more motivated state makes me feel pretty nostalgic and missing those quiet and spacious nights. In other words, these are cool.

" *I DON'T WANNA GET FISH POISONING* " -Arin Hanson 2019

tucker *trying not to throw up*: "it's about living...in the moment..."

this was the first Grumps video i ever watched 3 years later and im still hooked

Watched this vid two years ago, and today is the day the pudding recipe actually came in handy! I had no idea what to pack as a snack for lunch 🤣

Arin "Doesn't read directions" Hanson is bad at baking? Yeah that checks out.

the zoom-in on that fly absolutely killed me

My therapist: Pog Arin doesn’t exist, he can’t hurt you Pog Arin: *Thumbnail*

“It’s 1/4 of a pound.” *zooms in on 16 ounces on the packaging*

You know it's bad when even Arin has a look of pure unadulteratrd "I should not have put that in my mouth" after injesting that last liquid.

Why does it feel like they just took over this dudes house

9:08 "it's about living in the moment" is a quote I needed

Has anyone else ever genuinely felt sad when Dan mentions that the old lady on the book cover made all that food and no one came to eat it? I know it's a joke (and also just a dumb book cover), but it just makes me feel upset when I watch this vid. >=(

These cooking TMPH's give me such terrible secondhand anxiety.

13:40 Dan’s face looked like he absorbed all the secrets of the universe in one sniff. 😂

2 out of 3 successes kinda shows that this book was actually right.

Your one-stop go-to guide for self-inflicted food poisoning.

"what if coloring books were never meant to be colored" That actually makes me very uncomfortable for some reason.

"This book is not sad, it`s *EMPOWERING* "

4:13 as we hear "OH, god" in the background

4:01 ahhh, before the backstreet boys' tour...

"With nothing to eat on but my microwave" *Microwave is literally on a table*

to quote my mother: “mind your tisps and tibles”

Is no one gonna talk about the fact that they used dans sound effect when he’s beating the eggs right when arin was beating the eggs?? Lmao 3:02

i know im 4 years late but genuine shout-out to cookbooks like this, because trying to take recipes that have existed for *centuries* that were done on stove-top or oven, and converting them to be made in the microwave genuinely takes a lot of trial and error. imagine how long it must've taken for Marie Smith (and/or any help she had, or recipes she referenced) to make a recipe for pudding that actually became pudding-like in the microwave. Microwaves became common place in the 70s, and plenty of people did a lot of trial and error to figure out how to use this new tech they had for cooking. Microwaves don't require warming, and can heat up food very quick in comparison to a stove. While cooking in the microwave is a concept that has died out due to our personal preferences, the technology behind microwavable foods, and the trial and error behind Microwave Cookbooks is a genuinely impressive feat. "Microwave Cooking for One" is an unironically important piece of food history, as well as other cookbooks of its caliber; so massive hats off to Marie Smith and others like her who took the time to figure out how to make meals in a microwave.

*All signs of life leave Danny's eyes* Danny: It's not bad

This is the most prepared a power hour has ever been.

14:18 I gag every time. Still my favorite episode.

still one of my favorite 10 minute powe hour episodes

"Not everyone can become a great chef, but a great chef can come from anywhere." -That scary critic from the french pixar film

"Two men go insane in the middle of the night, try and summon grandma with a microwave."

Microwave cooking for 1? I call every dinner that.

2:06 fly: omg game grumps I them I'm a big fan I want to say hello

The grumps: Cook anything Arin: *Lets just destroy it with lemon*

14:02 the blessed "danny laughing so hard he leans on arin"
