Microwave egg poacher

actually one of the things we are doing is getting two of them, he bought a
used one when a vidio store went out of business and we tried it with our
regular one, now that we had two i will always have two, especially when
reheating left overs because you need to reheat potatoes at a different
power level than meat, and by having two and working it out you get all the
food hot at once without uber hot spots, Lee

For the longest time, I couldn't drink reg coffee. Hadda drink decaf.
Despite buying the best decaf beans and roasting my own, brewed decaf
jes sucks! I discovered TC decaf had something no other decaf coffee
had, no matter how much money I spent or how much hassle I went
through. BODY. I don't know how they do it, but if ya gotta drink
decaf, Tasters Choice is your only choice. Handy fer cookin', too.

It seemed more like you were being defensive about the acknowledgment
that you were *reheating* and I have agreed that microwaves are useful
for reheating. I have been questioning the idea that microwaves are
indispensable. You came up with one dish for which you sometimes find
the microwave handy.






Yeah yeah, we've been through this and I made special note of your
repeated use of the the word "re-heat" I would be more impressed with
the argument about the value of the microwave if it were the primary
means of cooking and that there was no other way.




Get a grip. I took exception to the suggestion that the microwave is an
essential tool when you don't even have to use it all the time.

I like your idea of adding it to the beans, presuming you mean baked beans
or pit beans. Since there is considerable pork flavor in my pit baked beans
it seems like it could be a good enhancer. I'm still looking to improve my
pit beans in Q competitions from consistent top ten to consistent top 3.
We're doing practice runs the next few weeks, and I'll try it out.

Taster's choice. Done. Thanks for the idea!

Actually I took exception to calling it leftovers. Read again. I pointed out
they are not leftovers, but being consumed for the first time in a two stage
process which exists for several good reasons. Frankly, the nuke method
works better than anything else I have tried, which is about everything, but
if you think you know a better way, go ahead and state what it is and I'll
tell you what results I've achieved. Or, you can go get yourself a few
packer cut briskets, fire up your smoker, test my method and get back to me,
that is, after you learn how to break down the meat and cook it properly in
the smoker.


That's just you being needlessly argumentative and ignoring what you've just
been told. Try offering something constructive or specifically factual with
regards to such methods. When you have the awards I have for barbecuing or
some other basis to establish your expertise I'll listen to your opinion on
my methods. And I did say that it is not what I always do, but what I
sometimes do. To restate, here is why:

Briskets are very large cuts. I separate point and flat. Flat is usually
sliced and eaten promptly. Points take longer too cook because of the
greater amount of fat and collagen. So they either go back in the pit and
get cooked to completion and eaten, or, since usually everyone is full and
their last meal was brisket, it makes sense to, as I previously stated,
undercook it just very slightly and finish it the way I described.

But if you think you can judge it from a distance, you're entitled to your
opinion, however I assure you you're wrong, at least according to anyone who
tastes it. I can cook barbecue side by side with anybody and my methods
don't need any critique unless you have some convincing credentials.


WTF does that have to do with anything?


Yeah, well in this case I described a method that works very well and you
decided to take exception to it just because a nuke is sometimes involved,
and then to further imply that I can't cook barbecue without a microwave. Do
you understand how dumb that sounds? Or do you just not believe that I have
a lot of experience with pit cooked meats?

Indeed, you are correct.

A microwave, even one that only does zapping, can be practical, but
cannot, of course, be used for everything, but then my toaster,
pressure cooker, wok, electric skillet or griddle and other kitchen
widgets cannot be used for everything, either.

I am sure there are some folks who have perfectly fabulous ranges with
great cooktops and ovens and who never make much more for dinner than
reservations. That wouldn't mean the equipment is at fault.

Now you and I, dear friend, we are frikkin' geniuses in the kitchen,
eh? We'll show 'em.
