This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Temperature. Granted, liquids more quickly convey energy to solids than gas, but a low simmering pot of sauce should be below pot roast temps. Which is fine for a tiny seared meatball, but for a half kilo beef sphere? That meatball is like 5 cm thick. It would take a while to heat up the center unless you’re upping the temp, but then you’re interfering with the sauce. In short, it’s a major recipe change.
