What's in the sauce?

*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!

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.

Depends on meal plans, but it's most of the time.

Fairly common, when the family cook is also one of several people
working. I have my dozen or so 20-minute meals, but it helps to have
cooked something to just nuke and toss on the table along with the
salad.

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.
