DM> I cover everything too.
DM> And you?
RH> I'll cover about 99% of stuff. If I'm just heating something like a
RH> muffin or similar, I'll set it on a napkin, then hit the 30 second
RH> power button. I'll check it after 15-20 seconds, if warm enough then,
RH> I'll take it out and cancel the remaining time. Same with reheating a
RH> mug of tea, just give it a short burst of power, adding more if
RH> neccessary but stopping before it goes to a boil.
DD> I only cover stuff that I think will splatter. Heating water for tea
DD> or hot chocolate - no cover because water is thin enough that the
DD> bubbles
DD> when it nears boiling don't cause spatter. Soups, now, that's
And a little bit of boiling water will help keep the microwave cleaner.
(G)
DD> different. Anything with a thick, viscous liquid gets a cover of some
DD> sort if I'm
DD> giving it more than a minute in my 1100 watt nuker. Usually a saucer
DD> or plate set on top of the bowl with the grub. Cream of (whatever)
DD> soups especially.
We've got the plastic covers but will use a plate or whatever sometimes.
Especially if it's something that can be dumped into the bowl or onto
the plate, we'll go with them instead of the regular cover.
DD> If doing pot pies, the pie gets a diaper - usually a saucer, which is
DD> easily washable, instead of a paper towel.
Makes more sense, you can invert the pot pie onto the plate after
heating to make it easier to eat.
DD> Then we get to making "baked" potatoes in the microwave. Bv)=
Remember to pierce them with a fork or knife several times; it'll help
control the explosions.
DD> This doesn't require a diaper nor a cover. Just a sweet tooth
and/or DD> an appetite.
DD> * You could use ground chile powder or replace the choc
DD> chips with chile chocolate. You could also use more or
DD> less chile depending on your tastebuds. - UDD
DD> EAT and enjoy - this can serve two - it's a huge portion
DD> for one!
Looks good and easy enough to mix up and "bake" while working on the
rest of the meal.
