Dr Gloom 19839 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 CT oblivious to the difference roasting has on food to microwaving. Sauté - I'll just use the microwave Grill - microwave should he the same, shouldn't it. Fry - yes, I will fry these. In the microwave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Honestly lads you are all behind the times Microwaving veg is quicker, cooks the veg more evenly and leaves it with much more vitamins and nutrients than other cooking methods. I can back this up with reports from mumsnet to Harvard. What have you got? We've all heard about how microwaving food removes some nutritional value, but is it true? Is something bad happening to our food behind that microwave glass? The verdict: If you do it right, cooking food in the microwave is one of the best ways to retain your food's vitamins and minerals There are dangers to microwaving your food. You could get scalded, for one. If you use the wrong kind of plastic (hint: one that doesn't say "microwave safe"), unhealthy chemicals could seep into your food. But if you're concerned about getting the most nutrition out of your eats, microwaving is a safe bet. In fact, it's near the top of the list for nutritionally sound food-preparation methods. If you use your microwave with a small amount of water to essentially steam food from the inside, you'll retain more vitamins and minerals than with almost any other cooking method. upwave: Cook yourself sexy "Whenever you cook food, you'll have some loss of nutrients," says registered dietician and certified food scientist Catherine Adams Hutt. "The best cooking method for retaining nutrients is one that cooks quickly, exposes food to heat for the smallest amount of time and uses only a minimal amount of liquid." Guess what? Microwave cooking does that. Consider spinach. Boil it on the stove, and it can lose up to 70% of its folic acid. Microwave it with just a little water, and you'll retain nearly all its folic acid.

The Fish 9015 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Listen fellas, I flipping did roast the first lot. Microwave was test two. I have two beetroots left. I am however of the opinion that warm beetroot is nowt special, which is probably why 99% of them end up in a jar. Indeed this is no sweet potato. If experts tell me to roast something and I ruined it, I wouldn't blame the technique, I'd blame the technician... Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 so he said to make three types of potato in it then to use a grill/oven to finish it anyway aye ct case and point there.

Meenzer 14068 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 So in summary, roasting beetroot doesn't work because you can microwave fish. I, for one, feel duly humbled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17828 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14068 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 If you read back that wasn't the argument though, CT just moved the goalposts until it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17828 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Not sure about your argument specifically Meenzer but it definitely seems to be the case for a lot of posters. Gemmill has a brand new kitchen without a microwave for instance. Dunno if it's something to do with interfering with his pacemaker but I just find that a luddite attitude.

Meenzer 14068 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I wouldn't go without a microwave in my kitchen either, I just wouldn't warm up some beetroot in it then use that as "evidence" that roasting doesn't work even though I didn't actually like the microwaved beetroot. Damn. CT is good at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34625 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Listen cuntface, I have no microwave cos they're unnecessary - the only time I miss the microwave is when I want to reheat a cuppa, but I have simply evolved to a point where I do not allow anyone to disturb me whilst drinking a cuppa now. AND whilst a microwave can produce the exact same results as steaming veg can, steaming veg is the most unimaginative and boring way of preparing it. And as a medical man you should know that the pacemaker microwave thing is a myth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
