I am fed up with sandwiches for lunch and it's getting cold out so now it's time to start bringing in something more substantial for lunch. Nah who am I kidding, that's far too much effort, that requires pre-planning! I'll just cook some stuff in the microwave...

Today's menu:
Steak and kidney pudding
Mashed potato
Vegetables
Gravy

So you will need a baking potato big enough to make enough mash, vegetables and a defrosted frozen steak and kidney pudding, and gravy granules for the gravy. This is going to be just how you get it from the cafe :D

Get the jacket potato cooking in the microwave, so that's pierce the skin a few times and put it in on high for about 6 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile take a bowl from the cuboard and put the steak and kidney pud in the middle. To cook it you need to fill the bowl halfway up to the top of the pud with cold water. We're going to cook our veg in that water so fill the bowl up halfway with vegetables (I had carrots and broccoli) and top up with cold water. Salt the water if you like.

When the potato is finished put the bowl of pud and veg in the microwave and cook as per the instructions plus one extra minute, it takes about 7 minutes all in. While this is happening, with a fork scoop out the inside of the potato and mash it up with some butter from the fridge and maybe a splash of milk. Make up a little gravy in a mug with the granules and boiling water.

When the microwave goes ding you can take the pud out the veggie water and strain the vegetables through a fork, assemble your meal and pour the gravy over the top and it's ready to eat.

I would take a picture but my lunch is long gone now :D

Watch this space for more zany cooking ideas at work with nothing more than a kettle, toaster and microwave ;)

I wonder if you can cook bacon in the laminator?...
 
Hmm this gives me an idea. Might post my elite casserole recipe later, if I can be bothered*.














*This means it's highly unlikely that I will ever actually post my elite casserole recipe, because when I get home from work it's unlikely that I'll be bothered! However, you can console yourselves in the knowledge that, had I posted it, you would have had access to the greatest casserole recipe ever. In the world. So good in fact you'll wonder what the hell your mum cooked when you were growing up, 'cause it sure as hell wasn't anywhere near as good as my casserole recipe! So good in fact that you'd die after eating it; your brain imploding knowing that it could never again eat something as good as that. A bit like the funniest joke ever told in Monty Python. So, perhaps in fact, it's best if I don't post it.

Oh man, I just saved your lives too. Give me a medal! (Or a nice casserole recipe.)
 
I can just imagine you getting your Jamie Oliver on in front of bemused co-workers, slightly scared that you're inadvertently sexually harassing them!

What is there to enjoy there?

Skullduggery with inappropriate use of a microwave, kettle and toaster is all good :D

Do you reckon it'd be possible to very quickly steam veg with a kettle, a plastic takeaway box thing and some gaffer tape? I reckon it would be.
 
There is nothing wrong with gravy granules. You probably don't like sausages because they are full of gristle and ground up lips and hooves and eyeballs :D

I feel a plan hatching and we have a spare kettle at work :cool: :D

Only problem is the adhesive on the gaffer tape would melt :(
