What do you think about MICROWAVE OVEN ?and what meals that you always u doing it in microwave?
That's my pasta I had cook in my microwave ~
taxlady said:Chopper, that makes me think making granola in the microwave might work.
I don't try to make granola very often. I burn it too often. Same reason I don't often make cookies. But for cookies, Stirling is willing to watch them once they are in the oven.Great idea. I bet it would!
Lazy?I'm even lazier, Taxy. I mix up instant pudding and put it in the fridge.
Oh the walk down memory lane of my very first Microwave Oven!
My young husband came home with it from his Union meeting. His Union Local had voted him the most valuable new electrical apprentice of 1969 and had given him this very valuable reward! I was so very proud of him and was over the moon with excitement as nobody I knew had one yet. I invited friends and neighbors in to demonstrate heating up cups of coffee and removing them with my bare hands. It was a magic show I tell ya! Later on, there were cooking classes of how to cook whole meals and the feeding frenzy was on! Trust me, coating a whole chicken with Gravy Mate doesn't do much for a Microwave roasted chicken.
Many Microwave ovens later, I've come full circle to just heating up coffee and melting butter.
GotGarlic said:I frequently make rice in the microwave. It comes out perfect every time, and since the microwave turns itself off when it's done, the rice is never overcooked or scorched.
1 cup rice
2 cups water or chicken stock
1 tbsp. butter or vegetable oil
S&P to taste
other seasonings to taste - I sometimes add herbs and/or spices that I've used in the main dish
Place all ingredients in a 1-quart microwave-safe container with a lid. Cover partially and cook on high for seven minutes. Stir (this is an important step) and cook on high for eight minutes. Let stand five minutes, then fluff with a fork and serve.
