Favourite Microwavable Foods?

[Bleek]

Agreed. I once caught a mate cooking bacon in the microwave. I wasn't impressed

With a piece of kitchen towel over the top that actually works quite well, it keeps the bacon moist, but then I don't like crispy bacon myself.

If it's a combination microwave (with a grill) you can cook just about anything. Our office microwave has done burgers, sausages, cheese on toast, 'proper' jacket spuds, you name it.

Be prepared for your coworkers to hate you though .

Microwaves are only good for reheating - that's all I use them for. any food that's supposed to be microwaved is not food.

Apart from "steam-in-the-bag" microwave vegetable packs. They rock - nice quick and easy way of getting some veg ready.

I like those £1 roast meals in a box from Lidle...honestly, before you judge, try them.

the big lasagne they do is awesome when microwaved too. (just remember to remove the foil packaging!)

home made stew reheated in the microwave is also nice.



But don't try to poach salmon in it it explodes

Broccolli, 3:30mins, cooked to perfection. Served with something not microwaved.

Either those microwavable pizzas or fish pie I'd say. The only two good uses for a microwave. Apart from nuking old pizza of course.

I'm loving the Uncle Ben's microwaveable rice pouches.

LOADS of different flavours, and on special in Sains at the mo.

I've only tried about 5 of the flavours, with Egg Fried and Spicy Mexican being my favs. (I have 3 packets in my work drawer, hehe.)

Shudder ... I have the basmati rice ones to save cooking rice to have with a meal but the other flavours are just foul.

Although M&S do a basmati rice microwave pack in the same way which has a better flavour and is cheaper at <£1 a pack.

Other than that I tend to have a Chicken Jalfrazi, Lamb Rogan Josh or Green Thai Curry from Sainsbury's in the freezer just in case I can't be bothered to cook.

Neither whole eggs nor bananas go very well with microwaves. In fact both become very messy.

Tortilla Chips/Doritos + bacon + cheese = Nachos.

Put it in the microwave for about a minute then add chillis and sour cream.

Baxter's tinned soup, often only 55p a can in Wilkinson.

 

[gillywibble]

Iceland Lasagne. They do a chicken tikka variety too.

Only a quid, and you get a vision of Katona thrown in.

...Rustlers?

If you're trying to lose weight via profuse vomiting and diarrhea, then Rustlers are the way forward.
