But when those two things are combined with the most lifeless and awkward personality in front of a camera, you get the saddest and most cringe-worthy cooking show ever created. Let\u2019s check it out, laugh, cry, and learn what cooking isn\u2019t.<\/strong><br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Steven Reed on Weber Cooks &#8211; Chili Cheese Dip<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Just to give you a heads up, the point of this program (and yes, this really aired on TV) was to show how you can make an edible warm meal for a dollar or less using the microwave only. I also feel compelled to add a warning: Don\u2019t try this at home!<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Steven Reed on Weber Cooks - Chili Cheese Dip\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5JcicqWa1l8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s not a bad idea to show how to cook on a budget without expensive equipment. But the choice of meals and, more importantly, the execution is just sad, really sad. Not only is the host out of breath, unenthusiastic, inarticulate, and clumsy but it\u2019s missing the whole point of cooking. It\u2019s not enough to just warm-up a pre-made canned food and put it on a plate. That\u2019s called reheating and there are instructions on the label for that. I guess it\u2019s not hurting anyone, at least they tried, and it\u2019s funny in a way. But that still doesn\u2019t explain why Steven didn\u2019t even mix the two damn ingredients properly. Just three lazy stirs. Come on!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Recipe: Easy no-cook salsa<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now this recipe is worth trying at home. It\u2019s made with real, wholesome ingredients and you don\u2019t even need a microwave! It yields about 4 servings and only takes 5 minutes to make. But to be fair, you will have to spend upwards of one dollar!<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BaewoBTA08G\/<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>\u2022 1\/4 small onion<br \/>\n\u2022 2 small cloves peeled garlic<br \/>\n\u2022 1\/2 jalape\u00f1o, seeded<br \/>\n\u2022 400 g of diced tomatoes<br \/>\n\u2022 handful of cilantro (or parsley)<br \/>\n\u2022 juice of 1 lime<br \/>\n\u2022 1\/4 tsp salt<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Directions<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>1.
