And at one time I added salt to coffee for the same reason you add salt to food, to bring out the flavours. It is impossible IME, to gauge how much salt to put into the dish when cooking with the tiny amounts of water required for microwave preparation of such. I never did add salt to veg. Just to stuff like steaks and chops and stuff like that. So I still boil all veg in a pan on the hob, I havent done veg like that since I was a kid. I used to do rice like that but its far too prone to boil over and always do it in the microwave now. You do need to spend some time getting the amount of water and temp and time right, but once you do that its perfect every time if you weigh the rice and water. But you do need a multi program microwave because the initial temp and time is to get the water boiling and then its a lower power for much longer to finish. where the tolerance for over/under salting is huge |

Daewoo has not been a good UI experience either, but at least usable after some experimenting. Mine is a Daewoo two knob job. Cost £39.99 3.5 years ago - still going strong. Yup All I ever use mine for is heating up pre-cooked stuff and making "baked" potatoes Any other "cooking" returns unsatisfactory results IMHO Blimey. Poppadums. 1 minute full power, Perfect. never eat them Rice. Simmer for 12 minutres at 2:1 eater to rice ratio by volume. Perfect see my other comment about getting the saltiness correct Baked potato. 3 minutes in microwave then 10 minutes in AGA oven. Perfect. Ditto sausages. I grill mine Scrambled eggs. About 5 mins full power pause to stir half way. Just as easy to cook on the hob Bacon. Full power 3 minutes absolutely not - comes out rubbery Almost any veg: teaspoon of water, cover with cling film 10 minutes full power. see comment about saltiness Boiled eggs: use microwave egg boiler. Full power 5.7 minutes or 4 minutes on the hob - what the point? Pork scratchings - remove half baked pork rind and nuke for 5 minutes full power. better than any oven. OMG you make, as a separate item, pork scratching? (FWIW I don't really like them - crunchy skin on the outside of the roast OK, but rock hard scratchings - not!) Steamed puddings. 5 minutes full power. Why would I even be starting with a steamed pudding that didn't fall into the category of "pre cooked food"? In short anything steamed or with water in it that you dont want a brown outside in is perfect, and that doesn't need to have salt added during cooking which IME for veggies is virtually nothing at all and if you do want a brown outside bung it in a very hot oven afterwards for a bit. but I can achieve the same effect by cooking under the grill for the same length of time (and don't waste time/money heating up a whole oven first) I've even use it to emergency cook oven roasts that have not quite done in the oven I know that you can do this IME the end result is so crap it is fit for nowhere other than the dustbin Thats bull**** with the ones that arent quite done in the oven. |

Yup All I ever use mine for is heating up pre-cooked stuff and making "baked" potatoes Any other "cooking" returns unsatisfactory results IMHO Scrambled egg is also good in a microwave as an alternative to using a saucepan on the hob. Beat the egg in a Pyrex basin; add milk and salt to taste; stick in the microwave set to about two minutes; take out every 15 seconds or so and stir with a wooden spoon until the desired consistency. Why is that any better than in a frypan ? Frozen peas are also quite good in a microwave container with a clip on lid I use a glass cup with no lid, works fine. Easier to tip it into the sieve using the handle on the cup, its never too hot to hold. cooked according to the packet instructions I just check that its noisy when taking it out of the microwave and since its a glass cup it always has the same amount of peas so all you have to remember is the time to get it to do that. if you don't want to use a steamer. Yeah the microwave is so much more convenient and much easier to put the cup in the dishwasher. |

Speed, the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: I don't even know what caraway carrots are but back to the substantial point I find that I don't like the way that they differently cook, all of those things that people claim that they cook better (potatoes excepted) for me you can replace better with "worse" That¢s made with all of frozen veg, rice, the equivalent of boiled potatoes,, quite apart from the other stuff like hot milk which is much harder on the stove.

No big deal that you will die sooner. heating cups of water for tea bags or instant coffee, well I don't partake of these items, but this is harder than using a kettle Bull**** its harder. Just the cup involved when you have the microwave for other stuff. No wasted water heated unnecessarily. (for zero benefit) Thats a lie too. making gravy, doing ready meals as before Not with the gravy. how is this not "heating up pre-cooked food" Not all of it is pre cooked. getting the lids off stuff where the lids are too tight with stuff that is vacuum sealed. where I come from the sot of lid that you can't get off is of the twist variety Here too. Heating it in the microwave reduces the vacuum and makes the lid easier to get off. I can't imagine that the results of microwaving it get it off is going to be anything other than a disaster You could get real radical and try it and find that it isnt. |
