The Fish 8998 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Hate to say it but CT is correct on this one. Microwaving vegetables (basically steaming) is probably the most healthy method there is and can be delicious too. It's a fallacy that because it's convenient it must be bad. Seems to be a massive amount of weird snobbery backed by ignorance on this subject for some reason. Behave yourself man, you're out of your mind if you think CT is microwaving stuff because it's healthy. He's microwaving stuff because he can't cook and can't be arsed to learn. Can't believe you, of all people, have been taken in by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17811 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Well I mentioned the pacemaker thing cos I wouldn't be surprised if you'd also fallen for the myth that microwaves somehow destroy food. Personally I love steamed broccoli, carrots, peas, mange touts, baby sweetcorn etc. And yeah, microwaves are incredibly useful for heating things up. Each to their own like, but for once CT does not deserve ridicule imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what, there's fuck all wrong with using a microwave as a cooking option fir whatever purpose. But it is really useful for veg in particular.

Expect maybe to be Contrary Bush? For once it's the rest of you being contrary though. Okay, tbh I'll put my cards on the table. This board has become downright weird as of late in it's pretentions and overt snobbery. I used to be regarded as laughably middle class but I've been overtaken by just about everyone on that score. It took a decade but HTT might have had a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8998 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 How are we being contrary though? He's asked how to cook them, the overwhelming response here and from proper cooks on them thar interwebs is to roast them, he tries, fails, then just microwaves them. If he'd come in and said "Just found a recipe for microwaving beetroot a and it's lush" he'd have not got the response he did. He's being lazy and you're defending him to get into a conversation because you're finding this place less and less interesting for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the last point us definitely true to an extent, and true for many others given the falling number of active members I reckon. I'd add that lazy is not an adjective I'd label CT with, I've got plenty of others mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8998 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 The falling number could also be due to NUFC. The World Cup thread is ticking along nicely, but no ambition, no excitement about signings, of course the board will suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 38786 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 1. I steam green veg and carrots in my microwave, and sometimes do rice in it. 2. Fish in a microwave- fuck off. 3. Renton, CT always deserves ridicule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 So the final two beetroots are off to the oven for a make or break roasting. Sadly, there seems lots of confusion around the web as to the length of time required ranging from 50-60 minutes at 200 to 2-3 hours at 180....!
