I’d rather the smart people figure out how to make chocolate cake and mac and cheese the new health food.
Oh I can’t wait for this to become a zombie thread.
That was a throwaway gag in Woody Allen’s “Sleeper”.
This might be the weirdest poll ever. The OP is either positing that we have discovered a way to control time or that we have discovered a way to nearly instantaneously accelerate things to near the speed of light for a reasonable energy expenditure and his/her first thought is, “Huh, now I can get my ramen done in less than three minutes.” It’s either a person that is missing the forest for the trees or someone that is hyper-focused on the pragmatic. “Oh? Ability to travel to nearby star systems? Or the end of aging? That’s neat I guess, but call me when you can make me Digiorno’s in 6 seconds or less, then I’ll be impressed.”
Stasis fields. Cook all your food at once and put it in the stasis field. Never goes bad or cools off.
Of course, Niven never gave any indication exactly how much power it took to create a stasis field. Maybe the cost was more than hiring a full time cooking staff. Who knows.
To be fair, from the point of view of anyone from anytime in the past, this is the future.
NO
There’s no meaningful “now” in relativity, or at least not how humans think of the concept.
But the real problem is that our only real accessible option here is to make the food take longer to cook by accelerating it to a significant portion of the speed of light.
Consider the LHC, where they accelerate a proton to around 0.999999990 the speed of light. From our perspective it takes about 20 min to accelerate a proton to that speed but from the proton’s frame of reference that only takes 2 seconds.
In theory you could simply put your oven on the second floor while you wait for it on the 1st floor and it would experience time at a faster rate. But the effects are small and even GPS satellites 12,550 miles above only gain about 45 microseconds per day.
So the only real option would be to accelerate yourself to a significant portion of the speed of light and “travel” faster in time but I doubt that would result in the intended results and would take a lot more energy than just having a more powerful microwave or better yet just automating an oven to cook on a timer so it is ready when you want it.
Plus the Unruh Effect caused by accelerating yourself that quickly (radiation caused by the event horizon caused by acceleration) may make that a bit warm for you to too, but that would depend on if you could accelerate fast enough to arise or if you could survive that acceleration.
Yeah, the combo of stasis fields plus trim warp oven would work. The food in the stasis field loses X minutes, it goes in the oven and cooks for X minutes in warp time, it comes out at the current time.
Even better would be food you can eat before you put it in the oven to cook. So some food magically appears in the oven, all ready to eat. But you later have to put the original uncooked food into the oven. If you forget, the food in your system disappears and probably not in a good way.
The real problem: Everybody singing “Let’s do the Time Warp Again” while using the oven. It’d get old really quick.
Can your food use the oven to go back in time and kill Sarah Connor?
I think that of course it will happen.
Maybe not in 100 or 1000 years. But in 1,000,000 years. Yup.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
I already have a stove that instantly transmutes bacon into burnt cinders. 
How the hell should I know? I’m still wrapping my brain around the company that tried to market “slow-cook microwave ovens” back in the early days of the product. What ---- are crock-pots too hard for you to master or are you trying to cook that turkey leg for three weeks while you are away on vacation? What the heck was the point to that?
Yeah, this is like someone in the 18th century wondering if we’ll ever breed a horse that can run 100 miles an hour. Obviously not, even though we are able to travel that fast.
No, it is more like someone wondering if we could breed a hundred million ton horse that is six inches tall and floats like a balloon.
Just need a closed foodlike curve.
I was going to suggest a “warm hole” would work too…but it sounds so wrong.
I voted no - and if we ever got close to such a technology somebody would fail to close the oven door properly and cause the entire universe to fast-forward to heat death in an instant.
…which nobody would actually notice, since everybody would be perceiving universe at the same speed it’s running - but at that point you wouldn’t be able to accelerate time more, so none of the time ovens would ever seem to work again.
So the inability to make a time oven work is evidence that someone has invented a time oven?
