Microwaves - suggestions

Recommended Posts

Top Tip - Looking to watch less television without cold turkey? Fill your old microwaves with old dolls covered in ketchup and leave in your front room. Then when you think "Oooh I must just watch a bit of casulty" - go and look at this instead.


Hope that's helpful.

When I was growing up and we couldn't afford a microwave I thought they were the coolest things


When I moved out and got a job and still couldn't afford one it was still high up on my list


When I got one?. I realised how grim they were - got rid and never bothered again


Sometimes, when I'm being dim and forget to defrost something I will momentarily wish I had one - until I remember how grim the result was


Good riddance I say - save your money and get the decent steak again

My Gran had hers for so long I thought she might want to be buried with it.


As it was, she opted for one of those wicker basket-style eco-coffins.


One of the staff at 'The Crem' told me (after the curtains had closed etc) that, ironically, it took more gas to burn the 'eco' ones because the hardwood timber used in standard coffins help the combustion process along.


How we laughed!

I can't understand why microwaves are being dissed. For sure, you probably wouldn't want to cook your entire dinner in it. but I find them mighty useful for:


1. Cooking potatoes quickly which I can then chuck into what I am cooking on the stove. (Saves about 15 mins cooking time).

2. Reheating cups of tea/coffee that have gone cold.

3. Drinking chocolate. (Saves washing up the saucepan).

4. Quickest/best way to melt choclate for cooking (According to Nigella).

5. Reheating leftover cooked rice.


Etc etc

The truth is that Sean is afraid of microwaves. Yes - afraid.


He doesn't trust any method of cooking unless he can see a clear flame - and only then if the food is suspended over the flame in a giant copper pot, secured on a chain from a high beam.

    • My front gate has expired! Does anyone have an unwanted one - ideally wrought iron? Many thanks. 
    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
