Microwave Ovens

[Lawrenceslongthrowin]

2 years a go ours was on its way out, I binned it with the intention of getting new one, never did and have to say haven’t missed it, it’s only for the odd time you have ready meal that it would ever come in handy, everything else can be done on cooker

I’m hoping to build an outdoor kitchen if I have the space when we move. Been looking on instructables at tandoors, quite easy to make. Look on gumtree for people selling granite worktops, save a fortune and look class.

There’s a fair bit to plan and I am still in two minds about the layout. I’m considering polished concrete with a colour put through the mix, but I’d need to knock up a sample before I decide. Mainly to see if it’s something I can do myself.

I use ours to eradicate, with extreme prejudice, all the cats that shit in my garden (see dog thread)

When do spoons reheat meat more than once?

Ah I misread...

Not a fan of concrete myself, should be able to do it yourself though. Watch a couple of YouTube vids and you’ll be an expert. You going to have smokers in your setup? I’m fancying a hot and cold smoker in mine.

No one really needs a microwave , in the same way as no one needs a kettle in their kitchen when they have a hob but it’s convenient at times and better for the environment than running a conventional oven for many jobs

Boiling water tap. So good.

Could easily live without one but no point. It makes heating up things a bit easier/quicker if you are short of time so why not?

Proud.

Some people are f***ing mental man... Imagine being proud of getting rid of a tin box that heats stuff up...

Not allowing stuff to defrost naturally is lazy narl. The amount of times I've had an early night after a long day of lifting summit out of the freezer and leaving it to thaw for hours on the kitchen top. Knackered just thinking about it tbh.

OP probably makes his Mrs get up and turn the telly over as well, no need for the new fangled remote thingies

Cos we haven’t got one.She’s wanting one of those pizza ovens on the patio.

I had thought of one but they're becoming a bit mainstream now, very common, a bit like artificial grass. We're getting the garden landscaped shortly and decided to build a tandoor oven.

Are they good? Quite fancied one but thought I'd probably scald myself in the first couple of days.

I can imagine I'd forget and scald my hand under the bugger if I had one

You need to make the tandoor yourself on a pottery wheel and kiln dry, using clay you dug up yourself in India, otherwise there's no point.

I'm a traditionalist.

We've got one at work - think I prefer the kettle

Only ever seen them with a safety button which forces you to hold your hand above the tap and away from the water anyway.

If you're going to scald yourself with one you're probably at risk from a kettle anyway
