Microwave Recipes??

[the.fee.fairy]

Can people share their tried and tested microwave recipes?

I don't have an oven,l and i've managed cake, but i'm interested in branching out to more interesting things!

Recipes please!!

Fee, just to clarify, (no pun intended!) will this be cake or anything else minus butter? Or have you managed to find somewhere to get it from now?

Hahaha!

I do know somewhere to get butter now, but not in large quantities. I also don't have proper milk or cream...and no sour cream either! (i say that because i was looking for cheesecake recipes earlier and they all had sour cream in them )

I guess you've googled? I never cook anything in mine so I don't have any recipes, but I know some people have raved about sponge pudding from a microwave (sorry not sure if it is this forum or another one I use!).

Great for cooking a whole pheasant. Skin the bird instead of plucking it. Couple of bay leaves in the cavity and micro in a lidded pyrex on full power for 15 minutes. Turns out succulent and juicy every time.

Beetroot is also a success. Peel the raw beet and slice about 8mm thick. Micro with a tablespoon of water in a lidded pyrex on full power until tender (usually about three minutes).

Oooo the beetroot one sounds good, really dont like that cooking beetroot smell, this could bypass it.
