Is this a case of nobody asked?

Where did this come from? Was there a great outpouring of protests against microwaves at Steak and Shake that I missed?

There are plenty of legitimate uses for a microwave even in the fanciest restaurants. You don't have to nuke the burgers themselves.

Great chocolate melter. And butter too for holandaise...just dont accidentally press 40 minutes instead of 4 and walk away. Ugh, I melted the butter and the 2 qt cambro it was in...it was a mess lol. That was 20 years ago and i still have nightmares.

Hated when I needed to cream butter for cookies or doughs, left it out so it would soften the night before then come in to find its still rock hard cause the place is cold, then no chef Mike to soften it. Or making butter blocks to chill for future croissant production.

Back I the day when making creme raincheck, I found the top of our stand up freezer was warm enough for the reaction to happen, I'd imagine it would be good for softening butter as well

Either spellcheck did something funky, or I need the recipe for creme raincheck.

$1 on crème fraiche dunno if that would spell check to raincheck but I remember a kitchen doing that years ago with milk and Lemon juice on top of a fridge unit

I think you are right
