My husband NEVER liked anything he even thought was cooked in a microwave. Therefore, until his death, is sat mostly unused except for popcorn and warming up things. I have JUST discovered what a microwave is REALLY for. NO, it is not cooking, it is a safe haven to put your plate, glass or whatever when you have to go to the bathroom, answer the door or phone. This will last until Piglet learns to open the door, and she will!

Welcome to slave hood ;-) I used to have one that had the protruding handle to open the door. Rumble the cat who is to smart for his own good learned to press the handle down when the dinger went off. I had to buy one that has a child proof lock on it.

I had to buy one that has a child proof lock on it. Stupidest thing I ever did; taught my Topper how to open doorknobs. DUMB!! I then spent a month jaming the doors behind me until Topper decided he did not know how to open them after all.

I have them spirit likes to step on them to turn them on and off but I put the energy saver bulbs in them.

Precisely why I avoid them! (I'm a light sleeper, and my cats are quite nocturnal - I would be constantly awakened by lights flashing on and off.) ;-)

Why topple a lamp on your head when they can just step on the base? :)

We just naturally put stuff in the oven or the microwave. After forty years of furkids, you don't leave things on the counter.

Always have to keep track of a few things that need to disappear when suprise visitors that don't already know us that well show up.
Another reason to keep bottled water around. For those that suspect the dog and cat and people dishes all go through the same dishwasher, and might care.
Jo
Granby - 05 Oct 2007 02:16 GMT O.T. and Willlow have their food on the dog cage, Piglets is on the dryer and they all three eat Scooters food on the floor. Am too old to care much what people think. If someone comes who grosses out with the cats, I usuall say something like " well, I don't have to worry about the dishes, they go through three rinse cycles and a dry cycle." I look at the 3 cats and scooter and they really make a funny face and noise not sure if I am kidding or not.

If something goes through the dishwasher, I consider it to be extremely clean. It gets pounded by hot water for 40 minutes! I would eat off a plate even if, prior to being washed, a cat had used it. I can't believe anyone would feel different, but I guess I should know better. :)
Joyce
Stormmee - 05 Oct 2007 02:56 GMT I am as close to Howard hues as you can get, prefer my cats germs to most other humans, and if they care who used the dish last, then they don't need to eat here do they? Lee

We had a neighbor lady with two dogs (German setters, IIRC), who also made a really superior plum butter from the plums on their trees. One time she gave us a dish full of it, and Mom wouldn't let me eat it, because she'd seen one of the dogs eating out of that dish. (For years I visualized the lady picking the dog's dish off of the floor and filling it with the fruit spread - it wasn't until I reached my teens that I realized the dish was taken from her cupboard, and had been washed at least once between dog and human use!)

Icanhascheezeburger? Yes, she can and she did. I don't like raw veggies on my burgers nor any kind of condiments such as mustard or mayo. I merely had a toasted bun topped with a (rather odd) pan-fried burger which contained finely minced mushrooms, water chestnuts, soy sauce and some cornstarch as a binder. This combination falls apart easily so a grill wasn't a good cooking venue, although a broiler pan would have worked. I topped with a slice of swiss cheese. I got up to grab a napkin. I was not gone more than 20 seconds. But my burger was ;) Thankfully I'd made more burgers than that one. shedidhaveheezeburger LOL What a nutcase.

People still *cook* with their microwaves???? Wow.
As far as I knew, besides that microwave popcorn stuff, a microwave really only has two purposes: to defrost and to re-heat. I *never* use it to *cook* with!

> As far as I knew, besides that microwave popcorn stuff, a microwave really > only has two purposes: to defrost and to re-heat. I *never* use it to *cook* > with! Ditto! Although I recently discovered that slow-cooking vegetables such as yams (ie, sweet potatoes - not sure what they're called in different places) can cook very fast in a microwave, with very little difference in the taste between that and baking them. So I've cooked those in the microwave recently with good results. Takes about 15-20 minutes as opposed to an hour in the oven.
Mostly, though, I don't care much for the taste of food that has been cooked in a microwave. The very first food I ever had cooked in the microwave was bacon. It was completely flat. And while it didn't taste terrible, it had a lot less flavor than bacon cooked in a frying pan. And if bacon doesn't taste absolutely great, whatever is the point of eating it?? I don't eat it for my health. :)
But I do find the microwave indespensible for reheating and defrosting.

Stormmee - 05 Oct 2007 23:59 GMT the microwave and the steamer are the only two appliances in my kitchen I actually use, DH does most of the cooking, if he kicks off I will have to hire someone to show me how to use the oven, honestly we have lived in this house almost 15 years and I still am not sure how to turn on the oven, Lee

[quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Yowie They really do work well to cook or steam vegetables. Especially frozen veggies like corn and green beans and broccoli. Plus you can cook those in the bowl you want to serve them in or even in the package they come in. I usually dump them into the container any leftovers will go into the refrigerator in to start with.

Lesley - 07 Oct 2007 17:57 GMT > People still *cook* with their microwaves???? Wow. I use it all the time- I can even roast beef in mine (through next time I get one I might try for a combi oven) we just almost never use our cooker apart from the rings . In fact we're considering getting some rings, a combi oven and dumping the cooker entirely, it's too big for two people and we don't use the grill since we got our George Foreman lean mean fat busting machine and the space could be shelved to store things

Granby - 07 Oct 2007 20:28 GMT I must be the odd ball. Everyone that has one of those G F grills loves it. Sorry, I like some fat when my meant is being cooked. To me is has no flavor. Corse, maybe that is why I look a bit fluffy and probably you guys don't. Oh well, can still walk five miles a day and live through it!

Lesley - 21 Oct 2007 15:10 GMT > IMHO frozen vegetables cook well in the microwave. Or those packs of ready prepared fresh vegetables that steam in the bag- they're a mainstay of my cooking around here especially at the moment- throw them in the microwave, shove a chicken breast in the GF and within fifteen minutes the pair of us have a fairly healthy meal, which I have not had to struggle with after a hard day at the office!

Lesley - 21 Oct 2007 19:16 GMT > The George Foreman is a main stay in my chicken In your chicken? Don't you mean in your kitchen? I wouldn't cook as often as I do without mine- Someone (Granby I think?) said they didn't like them because they preferred their meat a little juicier etc..I never have that problem with mine- I let it heat up to max then put the meat in to sear and turn it down and cook it slowly and it's just fine in fact I am just going for a shower and then I am doing sirloin steaks with baby new potatoes with a mint and herb butter and carrot batons (The last two do in the microwave so dinner will take about 15 minutes- my kind of meal!)

I put a lemon slice or orange slice on the chicken when I am cooking. I also always marinate my meat using one of the space saver vacuum machines. You can basically overnight marinate your meat in 5 minutes.
I have quite a few GF. I have a indoor/outdoor grill that I always use. Always which ever one I use the meat comes out tender. You just have to watch it. I did learn that if you use the small ones you have to use small portions or it does dry out the meat by the time it is cooked all the way thru. I love the griddle one
these are some of the ones I have inside http://igrillwithgeorge.com/size.html this IMO is the best one for a normal person to use http://igrillwithgeorge.com/GRP90WGP.html

Granby - 21 Oct 2007 20:01 GMT Yep, it was me, I have tried it different ways but finally gave it away. Guess that is where the different strokes for different folks came from. I also tried a microwave bacon cooker and threw it in the trash. My afteries may slap me one day but at nearly 64, guess that will be ok too.

> In your chicken? OK, this just gave me the giggles. George Foreman in chicken... is that like dogs in elk? (There's a visual for you!)
Speaking of which, I just got back from Pt. Reyes, California, where there are many elk (I saw a few). They're in rutting season and the area was full of signs warning people to stay away from them, as the males become quite aggressive at this time. I did see one very stately male with quite an impressive head o'horns.

Have they had the good sense to make the grilling plates removable and dishwasher-safe yet? I bought one, but got rid of it in one of my moves, because it was too hard to clean properly! (To be expected, I guess, when it was invented by a man!) ;-)

I do actually cook with my microwave but it's real purpose is to provide a safe place to defrost fish/chicken.
