Microwaves been out of fashion?

I bought one for the first time only a few years ago. Just a basic model. It’s so useful. I’m very slow to embrace gadgets which is my loss! ?

Not had one in probably fifteen years. That was when one I had stopped working and I decided I didn't use it enough to replace. I think they are a waste of space. Just my opinion...

Does she know how many microwave meals M&S sell every week ?

Microwave meals ?

Ms Beer would never lower herself to the standard of M&S ready meals!

Ah, but we are all out of date now, as the new fangled thing is - ta da da.. the air fryer!
I looked at them.. they seem ok to warm things up in or cook a couple of bits of chicken.. well, we have microwaves for that, right?
Watch for many, many airfryers in charity shops before too much longer.. ;-)

'Don't mock what you haven't tried' has long been my motto.

I have an air fryer, and use that alongside a microwave, a pressure cooker a slow cooker and an oven. They all have their uses. I have been out this evening and came home to find that Mr Dog had prepared some stuffed baked potatoes, which were cooked in the microwave. I reheated mine in the air fryer to crisp up the skins and they were delicious. I made spiced cheesy lentils in the pressure cooker yesterday, and had a dollop of those, heated in the microwave whilst the potatoes cooked, as a side dish (or were the potatoes the side?). Not a ready meal in sight, and I had a nutritious meal within minutes of getting home. None of my gadgets will go to the charity shop.

(Now, the spiraliser is another matter )

All of us have different eating patterns, or rather cooking patterns and what devices we us depends on those. I use my air fryer less than I expected, mainly because I do not eat lumps of meat. I do not like chicken so never roast a chicken piece in it or anything like that, on the other hand we eat a lot of casseroles and stews, so my slow cooker is constantly in use as is my microwave. I also have a griddle on my cooker so things like sausages, bacon, tomatoes get cooked on the griddle.

We have a lot of soup, but I found a soup maker more trouble than it was use, thankfully it broke under guarantee, so I was able to get my money back.

We all do things our own way, and find what suits us. DD has a small airfryer and uses it constantly.

I've never had a soup maker, although I do make a lot of soup with the aid of a sharp knife and a stick blender ). My son has one though, and uses it a lot.
