Fish in Office Microwave - Ok or a No-No?

in #food7 years ago

It seems to happen around once a month – someone will cook fish in the office microwave, and the office will smell like fish the rest of the day.

You can guess the debate I have with my co-workers: Is it OK to cook it or should you not do it for the betterment of the office?

I can certainly see the argument on both sides. On one hand, there are no restrictions as to what you can eat for lunch and the microwave is there to be used for that purpose. On the other hand, a stinky office could have an effect on employees and upset people.

Personally, I leave the fish at home and do not cook it in the office microwave. I would also prefer that people didn’t do it, and feel it can make everything else cooked in that microwave have a hint of fish for at least a few hours. I do love eating fresh fish though, so come over to my house and have some sometime!

What do my steemit friends think – Is cooking fish in the shared office microwave OK to do or is it a no-no?

All this food writing is now making me hungry… time for lunch!

Hello friend I usually eat at the office I bring my food from home to the office from time to time someone brings fish or sardines and it is usually fried

I have also done it sometimes it is invitable not to eat fish hahaha but when that happens the smell is when you put it to heat in the microwave after a while and the smell is gone the beginning when I start new at work I feel sorry but I saw it that everyone was heating their fish and the truth is that the office does not end up smelling of fish

That's a "no." There shouldn't have to be a rule against eating fish at work because people should know that heating up fish can be very smelly and off-putting to most of their coworkers. Rather than making their coworkers' lives more difficult, I think they should opt for another meal and eat something that is not as pungent.

Hello how are you? It depends if your companions are upset at home but if they do not have a problem you do it at work, there should be an area away from the office where they can eat whatever they want without bothering with the smell, nothing like eating fresh fish that you can enjoy at home if you prefer

A very big dilemma is difficult not to eat fish but if certainly the smell can bother more in a closed place like an office also there is air conditioning usually concentrate the smells

I think there are ways to cook the fish so that the smell is a little low I usually eat little fish the fish gives me a reaction on the skin :(

Oh hell to the naw!!!!
That person needs to be confronted immediately, damn their feelings.

It's NO for me. Fish should not be allowed to microwave in the office. I remember long ago, one of my co-worker did that. I expressed my opinion about the smell, she defended herself, and told me it was a top of the line fish!!!???

In my opinion it's about your perception means what you think, for example, if there is an person who want to eat fish but some of his/her colleagues have the concern regarding it then that person should analyse the situation, means most of the time these type of cases are related to the situations where the questions come how much engagement and connections you have among all your colleagues if few or no one then probably then that person will eat it because he/she will not think about perception of others with whom they don't have any connection and engagements and in contrary if the percentage of connections and engagements are high then in my opinion that person will think about it because at last he/she is working as team and if team members have some concern then i have to think upon it. But at last it's your choice.

Thanks for sharing this post with us and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂

In my openion it is not good to cook the fish in office microwave coz it will leave a bad smell throughout all day. And also the smell gets transfered to another items when we cook them in same microwave. So better don't cook. Its only my opinion. Different people can have different options.

It's no no as I think office shouldn't allow to cook fish with microwave. Better if we prepare it at home. Thanks @brian.rrr for the amazing post and want our opinion.

I know I personally would not do it. I was in finance and the office was visited by clients so I think it is much like having to dress appropriately, the entire atmosphere must be preserved. Good question.

It’s a hard NO! I don’t care how much protein there is in salmon don’t reheat it in the office!

its a no-no. office mood will get spoiled with the smell of fish and we start feeling that we are at home.. :D. seriously no to office fishing. i agree with you friend.

i Think home will be better place to cook ....Office is just for work not for cooking

It's definitely a big NO from me. I wouldn't cook fish in a micro wave. It's to fishy for it and the rest of the food to be cooked in there.

its a no-no. office mood will get spoiled with the smell of fish and we start feeling that we are at home.. :D. seriously no to office fishing. i agree with you friend.

It is a total NO ... because although the fish is divine we can not bother the companions.

This is delicious food, and personally i love eating fish. thanks a lot for this post sharing.
Upvote and resteemit done.

The fish tastes better just out of the oven, with the microwaves the flavor does not encourage me ... And the bad faces in the office, do not encourage me.

I LOVE FISH AND WHEN IN THE OFFICE SOMEBODY HOT FISH, I HAVE TO HOLD THE TEMPTATION. SO ONLY THEREFORE NOT.

The most comfortable thing is to prepare the fish in your house so as not to damage the working environment of your work.

How delicious it is to eat fish but the disgusting smell is sad, I recommend that you do not prepare it in your office.

I once prepared spascado in the microwave and hard a long time the smell in the environment.

You are quite right that the office will have an unpleasant smell of fish.

I greet my dear friend and I see that he has a big problem in his office and with his companion, I recommend that if you are going to want to cook fish in the office, abstain from the consequences of its smell hehe. regards

Uff I love the taste of pesacdo but I hate the smell that leaves :(

hmm tricky one , I mean if someone wants fish you can't really stop them , no chance of maybe a few fish free days ??

Do not have a plan b? so they can prepare the fish without having to damage the smell of the environment ?.

I love fish but if there is that problem of cooking it and after it leaves an ugly smell, I prefer not to cook it at that moment.

I imagine the great diction that you must have with your colleagues hehe, well, the lamyotia of vote wins.

At my work site there is a food sign that can not be heated in the micro and sardines (fish) top the list

Nice fish recipe...!

I hope you can eat your big fish and find a good solution. Greeting and good appetite.

healthy yummy

hahaha I imagine how they would talk about the tuna and its smell in the dining room, I also think that the food should be heated if it is caught in the house and eat as soon as possible since many people are conflicted and do not understand that, regards, friend and Take care of that hahaha

@calitoo

Hahaha would be unpleasant because of the smell but it is normal.
