Hi Dave,
DD> If doing pot pies, the pie gets a diaper - usually a saucer, which is
DD> easily washable, instead of a paper towel.
RH> Makes more sense, you can invert the pot pie onto the plate after
RH> heating to make it easier to eat.
DD> My house-mate does that. I just use the flimsy pan it came in and a
DD> fork. Any debris stick to the pan is a doggy treat for Izz-a-bel or
DD> Jasper, Dennis' grand-dogs.
Depending on time of day for the meal, if I'm eating by myself or in the
living room (watching the news), I usually want a plate as it's easier
to hold than a hot pie pan. Also, no dogs around to clean up the
remains.
DD> Then we get to making "baked" potatoes in the microwave. Bv)=
RH> Remember to pierce them with a fork or knife several times; it'll help
RH> control the explosions.
DD> Oh, I do. If I'm feeling "sporty" I'll pierce the tater on one end,
DD> then on the opposite size on the other end. Sometimes it causes the
DD> potato to spi like a top from the escaping steam.
Fun, if you've got the time to watch it. I'm usually doing something
else for the meal at the same time.
DD> This doesn't require a diaper nor a cover. Just a sweet tooth
RH> and/or DD> an appetite.
RH> Looks good and easy enough to mix up and "bake" while working on the
RH> rest of the meal.
DD> It's one of the very few complex things I cook in the microwave. I
DD> don't count "steam in bag" veggies or similar as cooking, just hotting
DD> up.
I think ours gets used mostly for rewarming tho I know Steve likes to do
"baked" apples from time to time.
DD> Place potato on microwave-safe plate and microwave 7
DD> minutes, turning over halfway through cooking. If your
DD> potato isn't fork-tender after 7 minutes, continue
DD> microwaving in 1 minute increments until fully cooked.
A paper towel works just as well, especially if you use the plain white
ones.
