http://www.recfoodcooking.com/ Thanks go to Omelet for sending in this survey. *Reminder:* I have received a few more RFC Mugshots in the last week or so. Please remember that you are welcome to send yours in too! http://www.recfoodcooking.com/mug/ 1. MCINL - I use them both about equally. It depends on the vegetable - I eat a lot of peas. I always "cook" frozen peas in the mw. If boiling potatoes it's on the stove. If baking potatoes it's usually in the oven (for actual baked potatoes to eat as such). For "baking" potatoes to use for home fries it's in the mw. I cook corn on the cob in the mw, as well as reheating canned corn. Other veggies are used to lesser extents and are probably done in the stove or in a slow-cooker as part of a stew or soup. 2. MCINL - I rarely do any kind of meat on top of the stove, even when it calls for browning in a skillet, I brown it in the oven as it is some much easier and way less messy. I never cook meat in the mw. 3. I do tons of reheating in the mw. I usually make a big batch of something that I eat every day for a week or 2 - a hearty soup or a stew. These get reheated in the mw. Also other things where I make up a plate of food I reheat in the mw. However, pizza can only be reheated in the oven or in the toaster oven. Pizza done in a mw really sucks!!!! There are a few things like that that I do in the oven or the toaster oven. I don't think I ever reheat anything on top of the stove - although perhaps if I had a big pot of soup and was serving it to company I would reheat on the stove as it would be too big a quantity to do in the mw.

I often cook for the week on a weekend. Fairly common, when the family cook is also one of several people working.

wrote: The only meat that really works in the m-wave is chicken. It tends to ruin the texture of mammal meat. Properly smoked ribs nuke up very well also. I agree with the chicken part. When I make a batch of deep fried chicken I do it outside on the turkey fryer. We're having weekend guests this weekend and I'll be doing about 50 pieces even though I'll only need about 10. I freeze them and nuke what I need just until thawed but not very hot. Then I put them in the toaster oven set at 500 for a few minutes and turn until the crust is crispy again. They're almost as good as the first time and light years ahead of any of the fast food crap that's been mentioned in other current threads. Lou |
