Oh they're definitely not as good @Kol , no crispy skin and not as fluffy, but it does in a pinch

RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - quickbeam - 03-09-2021
I love microwaved spuds. I'd even almost say I prefer them to baked, and the shorter time is really just the cherry on top.
Baked beans with curry powder and cheese on top of a microwaved spud though sounds great. I'm going to try that.
PS I don't put cherries on top of my potatoes.
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - quickbeam - 03-09-2021
I also microwave my eggs. The easiest, quickest and best way to cook them.

RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - nothing - 03-09-2021
I do the potato first, cut open and top with cheese while the beans are in the microwave, then beans on top and the cheese melts perfectly
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - quickbeam - 03-09-2021
Also agree with the evils of chopping. It's the absolute worst!

Ah, we've had this conversation before. I don't do eggs where white and yoke get mixed a la scrambled or omelette. I poach my eggs in the microwave.

I've never had a poached egg. don't think I ever will either. think it's a texture thing

I use a glass pyrex type dish. I put in boiling water, crack in two eggs, and microwave for 2 mins 10 seconds, and then use a slotted slicer thing to pick them up, drain them, drop them on some toast, dust with salt and chili flakes. Divine!

I must try the a glass dish, I bought a little plastic egg poaching thingie for the microwave (put in boiling water and the egg in a round shallow thing with a lid), but I still wasn't happy with the outcome, but I cannot get a swirl going in a pot of water to save my life, so I just usually soft boil. I will scramble in a microwave, but on lower power, stirring often, with a dash of milk.

Yeah, I bought those, and they're absolutely useless. It took a lot of experimenting to learn how to make the perfect eggs, but I finally found my way.

Trick for poached eggs, clingfilm over a bowl (dipping in a bit, coat it with spray oil(to stop the egg sticking to it), break the egg into it, close it up and tie it, and put it into a pot of boiling water

Got word last night that we're back in business for the annual panto after having to take a year off last year for obvious reasons.
First reading Tuesday night and I'm super excited. Committee have decided we also have to be fully vaxxed to take part which I think is quite a good idea tbh, less risk for everyone. (Not no risk, but less anyways)

Mam, it sounds like they upgraded you to a senior box
Necro, we'll do a road trip in a minibus to the panto for a night out!
Watched the first LLS of the season. Got goosebumps watching the footage of Dolores O Riordan. I was a massive fan as a teenager, their's was probably the first album I bought. Her voice was so unique, you'll never hear similar again.
