Re: Microwave

I think ripple has same spell checker as me I can't trust it to recognise swede either

Re: Microwave

Ahhh but ............

Do we know for sure whether 'suede' actually meant 'swede' or .............

suet
noun
"the hard white fat on the kidneys and loins of cattle, sheep, and other animals, used to make foods such as puddings, pastry, and mincemeat."
Sounds revolting.

Re: Microwave

I do have one, but only use it to heat something up, or partly cook a potato, or makes great stewed apples.

Re: Microwave

I use it for drying my hamster when he's had a wash....not a euphamism

Re: Microwave

Generally speaking, it is best to avoid nuking meat - it does toughen it up.

Cat-burgers seem OK though.

Re: Microwave

Mine is a valuble asset to my kitchen, wont be without it.

Re: Microwave

I've still got the teeth for it.

Re: Microwave

Thanks for that Pummie, I've never liked anything made with 'suet' - Fray Bentos Pies and Dumplings to mention two, but didn't know why. I just put it down to the slimy appearance. Sub consciously I think my body was telling me it was bad for me....

Re: Microwave

I once put instant coffee in a microwave............ Nearly went back in time

Re: Microwave

Yes, I wouldn't be without mine, either. Baked beans, soups, custards.

But you shouldn't use one for heating plates as it needs food in it to operate safely! Tut tut. I leave my dinner plate on top of my mini oven to warm up.
