People Ask Their Parents How To Cook A 25 Lb Turkey In A Microwave And Here Are 31 Hilarious Responses
With Thanksgiving rapidly approaching, images and recipes for roasted Thanksgiving turkeys emerge like mushrooms after rain. It wouldn't be the World Wide Web if someone didn't come up with an Internet challenge for this American holiday, and so many parents around the country were quickly sent into terror and bouts of facepalming as their children requested "help" with cooking a 25lb bird in a microwave as a part of this hilariously funny joke.
Although it is possible to cook a Thanksgiving dinner bird in a microwave (and some swear it tastes pretty good), many mothers in the responses were absolutely horrified by such prospect and offered their own time-tested recipes. While some genuinely tried to help their "poor" offspring in trouble, other moms swore to disown their kids for attempting such monstrosity, not buying the whole funny prank thing at all. Scroll down below to check everyone's funny text message reactions and don't forget to comment and vote for your favorites!

Pre-cooked? The word she was looking for is "cooked." Go buy a cooked turkey.

Law School? and you ask a stupid question like "how to microwave a 25 lb. turkey?". Look it up in your law books.

This reminds me of the old joke... "How long will a chicken last in the freezer?" "Because I put one in my freezer yesterday and it was dead this morning...!!"

So, either this one is fake, or the one at #1 (as of this writing) is fake, because they both gave the same answer. now I trust none of these. Hate cheaters.

This Grandma is totally awesome. She could have threatened them, called them names, done anything but instead she took the time to reply with a step by step recipe. You need to take her to dinner and tell her thanks for being awesome.

This is the first sensible reply! The others were basically just insulting their kids. This is an awesome grandma!

It means the idea of microwaving a turkey is equally stupid to the idea of square tires. "You wouldn't think of doing this, why would you want to do that" sort of thing.

Apparently it CAN be safe to microwave foil? It sounds like there's a lot of ways to get it dangerously wrong, though, so I think I'm gonna stick with the ageless wisdom of "don't do it". https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/food-safety-education/get-answers/food-safety-fact-sheets/appliances-and-thermometers/microwave-ovens-and-food-safety/#12

My microwave is a dual oven/rotisserie so it would be absolutely okay to cook a turkey in it. However, I would have to re-mortgage my house when the electricity bill came through.

Wait what? 400 degree internal temp? That would be burned to a crisp.

If you overheat food in the microwave it can explode. I've had this happen when heating dinner, bits of it would pop and that's why I have a lid in the microwave. - easier to clean

Or do get married. Maybe the spouse will have smarter genes. Then the grandchildren will have half a chance.

So I asked my mom. She went: "Where the hell did you get a 10 kilo turkey, you should be at work. And I think you meant the oven." "Can't I make the turkey in the microwave?" "No, you can't." "But why, it would be faster!" "You completely lost it." I think I might have dissapointed my Mother :D

Correct me if I am wrong, but these youngster seem to have never helped out or avoided helping out in the kitchen during meal prep. "Magic Smagic - meals suddenly appear on the table."

That's cute! Although....well my mom's not the best cook...s'why I started cooking for us so early in my life. This is a question she would probably ask me LOL. Which is why I always cook the turkey and my mom is on cleanup duty!! She's awesome at cleanup - also amazing at chopping the onions so I don't cry :).
