[QUOTE="forge, post: 629541, member: 118650"] @madasmacus I glad I helped someone. BTW My son told me the pancake mix has to stand for 10 or 15 minutes before cooking. We had a BBQ last night and I fill it up (pull down lid type oven BBQ) and have the leftovers the next day. There was steak and sausages, mushroom zucchini, carrot, and pumpkin. What I do is Pre zap the pumpkin and zucchini in the microwave.Then [SIZE=3]I put everything in the BBQ together and it all finishes cooking at the same time. Last night I also put a damper in the BBQ a bit earlier (damper is a giant scone) I had sliced damper for breakfast with margarine and sliced pickled sweet cucumbers. [/SIZE] So from one cooking effort I ended up with meals last night for 3 of us breakfast for me and left over BBQ to have (with salad if there is not enough) for lunch. [B]MICROWAVE is a good trick The MW is a good trick because you can par cook (prezap) to speed things up OR if something does not work out then you can ZAP it for a final cook.[/B] [B]Slow cookers is a Fast way to cook We bought a cheap slow cooker and it is fast (min prep time) and will cook all day and be hot ready for dinner and you can get more than one meal and freeze more meals. We can get 8 servings out of one batch. You can prep at night, then fill it and turn it on next morning and the cooking is done for a few days. The meat can go in frozen and do not bother to brown meat (according to Jamie Oliver) in makes no difference after 7 or 8 hours of slow cooking. The recipes with diet coke in them and diet orange soda come out exotic tasting and great. They also add packet soups for stock so Slow cookers are fast. We wrap up our slow cooker to save power, we put a cushion on top and wrap it in a big towel doubled up. It works because it stays hot for hours after it is turned off (see pic) Flat Sandwich Press and electric Pie maker We use both of these the sandwich press heats from above and below so it is twice as fast as a frying pan and is sort of like an oven too. I cook cakes in the pie maker but biscuits in the oven. Combos You will learn combos, Zap frozen oven bake crumbed chicken in the microwave it heats well but does not crisp. So then put it in the sandwich press for 5 minutes to crisp up. We have a deep fryer in the BBQ area outside so we zap stuff to defrost and or pre-cook before deep frying. The deep fryer oil keeps fine for months and we do not use it often. the fav. for that combo is frozen peeled raw prawns from some suss country, we defrost in the microwave roll them in flour and deep fry on high for 2 or 3 minutes. It is hot enough to kill any nasties quick and easy to do, very little clean up and tastes great. So think combos to make cooking fun and minimise wasted time cooking and clean up. [/B] Don' forget cold cooking, I have made rum balls and frozen yogurt slices they are popular. [B] [/B] [/QUOTE]
