Got a microwave for christmas-Whoppee-What do you do with yours?

[sunflowervalley]

Just wondered apart from de frosting and re heating what else you do with your microwave?

Any recipes for quick meals or cakes etc please.

its a great big white box in our kitchen that warms milk, cooks scrambled agg and once in a blue moon jacket potatos.

Oh and ds3 warms his pain du chocolat in it..
waste of space really.

sorry!

Warm milk, jacket potatoes, fish in sauce um, struggling now, soften butter.
Thats about it really.
Oh, nearly forgot, great for making treacle sponges in (if I could remember the receipe!)

ours warms milk and defrosts

i'd get rid if ds would drink cold milk!

Erm,was wondering.

This one has a browning facility.
Crispy jacker potatos!!!

Will be good for heating up DH's dinner if he is late.

heat up foot.

warm milk for cereal

*jacket

I can see a theme here,I have a large milk warmer in my kitchen taking up valuable space

tiredemma-now your talking,I can warm my feet up in it?

Like an aga?

sunflower i was aboutto ask that!

ha ha ha. sorry im tired from nightshift- not thinking straight!!

FOOT!!

Oh yes, syrup sponges turn out great in the micro, and save hours of steaming.

I heat up loads of stuff in ours, but don't cook a huge amount in it.

Oh, I do use it for making white/cheese sauce, as well as scrambled eggs and porridge.

Defrost bread, warm milk for my coffee , jacket potatoes, frozen peas. We used it at Christmas to melt chocolate to make the Nigella fudge.

We are going to relegate it to the utility, when the utility gets built

Oh yes I nearly always cook frozen peas and sweetcorn in mine too.

I prefer baked potatoes to actually be baked.

jacket spuds, melting chocolte, warming stuff like baked beans, spaghetti, sweetcorn, gravy (when you dont have enough hob space) ready meals (but thats more the one that dh uses in work). Oh those individual sponge puds that you get in m&s they only take about 90 seconds,

Frozen vege, milk for lattes, porridge, jelly melting. That's about it except for cooking rice, which I always do in a rice cooker in the microwave; if you can get a rice cooker for the microwave I can heartily recommend it; perfect rice every time.

Steam veg
Cook rice

I use mine all the time. I just cant think what for!!!

Handy for drying clothes in an emergency. Downside is occasional burnt clothes
