Totally disagree. Maybe you are not using it correctly. I am finding
it great for veggies (not cabbage) definitely corn cooked in the nuker
is great. Fish, cooked at half power, very nice. It is even
possible, with care, the make fudge, very quickly and no mess.



½ cup butter ~ 1 cup white sugar ~ 1 cup brown sugar
Cream together
Add
¼ cup corn syrup ~ I can condensed milk
Blend well.
Microwave on high, stirring after each minute until rolling boil.
(Use really large pan)
Back in microwave for six minutes -
Beat - spread in 4 qt dish.

The recipe is great - I think it varies with one's microwave, for
instance in mine, after it comes to the rolling boil, four minutes is
just right, it should be whitish in colour. Do use the largest bowl
you can, it boils up ! Mine is 1100 watts.

While you have to stand there and keep stirring each minute, the whole
thing is complete far faster than any other fudge I have ever made and
this does seem to be no fail, whether a wet or dry day.


All in all, a really dumb recipes that works 9 out of 10 :
