Fast food?

a reply to: BobbyRock

I'm not sure why i can in for a look. That said i saw the word microwave before even seeing the recipe. and things went down hill from there.

Melt butter in the microwave or soften it? I do , I should use thr stove but i dont, I know better. But to cook a neal in the microwave? Never.

Ps: If any part of a recipe includes something like marinade for 6 hours, thats clearly not fast food!

Sure it's Fast Food....
Do steps 1 & 2 in the morning. Go to work (or whatever for 6 H). Come home and shove it in the microwave, cook the rice and make the sallad and you got a hot meal in less than 20 minutes......

I understand this is your part two of the microwave thread but why not just do all that in a Dutch oven or rondo or cast iron or sauteuse or anything but the microwave

I just posted it because:
1. I think it's yummy.....
2. To show that "you" (ppl) can do a tasty (IMHO) hot meal fast with/in a microwave.... (with less cleaning up to do afterwards)

But with all this negativity, I fail to see any point in posting "real" cooking recipes..................

Ahhhh don't do that, I apologize. I'm a cook by trade and I woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Please post. You taught me about that sausage yesterday! I just hate microwaves.
