Since most of the year I use frozen veggies (they come with
instructions<G>), the microwave is the most often used for cooking
those puppies. Otherwise, I like roasted veggies, and that means the
oven.

When cooking meat, I usually use the oven (or toaster oven if it's
fish), not the stovetop. I like to make a lot so there's plenty for
quick meals in the freezer.

Yup. Click on the pic/link of the TFH on the results page, and you'll go to
a list of "Winners".. and there's a link to our "Catalog" of TFH's from

I have gone off frozen veggies - altho' I do occasionally cook peas in the
MW. (The frozen veggies we get here in RSA are not very nice, IMHO). My MW
usually gets used for defrosting/heating up leftovers. I don't often use it
to defrost uncooked meat - I prefer to do that in the fridge overnight, or
sometimes even on the counter top if it's not gonna take too long.

Don't have a toaster oven... My MW is one of those combination
MW/Convection/Grill things - I think they call the "grill" part a "broiler"
in the USA? But even then I don't use it much for cooking. Also, it depends
on the time of year - in summer we grill our meat outdoors most weekends
too, and in winter I do make quite a lot of roasts/potroasts/casseroles in
the oven. But I do use my stovetop for making most of my veggies and quite
a lot of meats too.

It is summer here. That means cooking on the BBQ. Corn gets grilled,
veggies become veggiebabs, and most of the time we have salads or other
fresh raw produce. . I have not used the stove for vegetable sin months,
and I cannot remember the last time I used the microwave. I would just as
well get rid of it and reclaim some counter space.

Very predictable so far with 90% using microwaves for re-heating. :-)
It is what we use ours for the majority of the time, but I do
occasionally cook veggies in it. I mostly steam those on the stove top
tho' or stir fry.

The only meat that really works in the m-wave is chicken.
It tends to ruin the texture of mammal meat.

1. MCINL - I use them both about equally. It depends on
the vegetable - I eat a lot of peas. I always "cook" frozen
peas in the mw. If boiling potatoes it's on the stove.
If baking potatoes it's usually in the oven (for actual
baked potatoes to eat as such). For "baking" potatoes to
use for home fries it's in the mw. I cook corn on the cob
in the mw, as well as reheating canned corn. Other veggies
are used to lesser extents and are probably done in the stove
or in a slow-cooker as part of a stew or soup.

2. MCINL - I rarely do any kind of meat on top of the stove,
even when it calls for browning in a skillet, I brown it in
the oven as it is some much easier and way less messy. I never
cook meat in the mw.

3. I do tons of reheating in the mw. I usually make a
big batch of something that I eat every day for a week or
2 - a hearty soup or a stew. These get reheated in the mw.
Also other things where I make up a plate of food I reheat
in the mw. However, pizza can only be reheated in the oven
or in the toaster oven. Pizza done in a mw really sucks!!!!
There are a few things like that that I do in the oven or
the toaster oven. I don't think I ever reheat anything on
top of the stove - although perhaps if I had a big pot of
soup and was serving it to company I would reheat on the stove
as it would be too big a quantity to do in the mw.

Makes me wonder just how common this is.
I often cook for the week on a weekend.

Depends on meal plans, but it's most of the time.

Fairly common, when the family cook is also one of several people
working. I have my dozen or so 20-minute meals, but it helps to have
cooked something to just nuke and toss on the table along with the
salad.

Properly smoked ribs nuke up very well also.

I agree with the chicken part. When I make a batch of deep fried
chicken I do it outside on the turkey fryer. We're having weekend
guests this weekend and I'll be doing about 50 pieces even though I'll
only need about 10. I freeze them and nuke what I need just until
thawed but not very hot. Then I put them in the toaster oven set at
500 for a few minutes and turn until the crust is crispy again.
They're almost as good as the first time and light years ahead of any
of the fast food crap that's been mentioned in other current threads.

He forgot ugly too. We're all old, fat and ugly.

I live alone and I certainly don't want to have to
cook dinner from scratch when I get home from work.
I wonder about the people who are always asking about
things they can make for just one person, or 2 people.
I wonder why they don't just make a big batch of something
and eat it for several nights. Granted there are some
things that are not as good reheated but there's tons
of stuff out there that is even better reheated. And if
they don't want to eat the same thing every night for a
week or so, then they can make a couple of different things
and freeze portions and switch off every night.

I don't mind eating the same thing every night till it's
gone. (Assuming it's good. Once in a while I make something
that doesn't turn out too well - edible but not great, usually
a new recipe I'm trying - and then I start to get a little
sick of it before it's all gone, but that is rare.)

Some things I make take 2-3 weeks to finish off, like
my Brunswick Stew, for instance. It's a big recipe in the
first place and I tend to add extra of everything (I don't
measure) so I end up with twice as much as the recipe is
supposed to make. That lasts me 3 weeks at least! ;-)

I have seen a recipe for Brunswick Stew that involved squirrels.
Have you found a recipe for tree-rats? :-) I can't say that I
am enthusiastic about eating the same thing two days in
succession; that's what freezers are for :-) Before anyone
objects, I have to admit that my breakfasts are an exception!
