[Duck on Wheels]

Bikeless- It sounds like you're exploring advanced microwave cookery though. I'm not sure if I've ever used my microwave to actually -cook- something.<and not caused disaster> only to heat it up. I'm left with once beautiful and awe inspiring salmon steaks reheated to either mushiness or crunchiness. And I somehow magically rubberized the remains of beautiful halibut. Me and microwaves don't mix too well. My friend made amazing rich brownies in the microwave. My attempt to try it left me with burnt chocolate on the microwave's ceiling. If it needs more than a minute 30 in the microwave I'm not touching it because I'll likely start a fire.

Yeah, I don't think salmon nukes well, though dh has tried that at times with edible results. Nor halibut, which needs either gentle poaching or just the right number of seconds on a grill. You need a fish that comes out pretty well even if boiled, since that's what nuking does. As for brownies, your friend may have used a microwave-specific packaged mix. We've tried those on occasion (time-squeezed occasions when goodies were nevertheless demanded by kids). They're quite good. But I don't think the old Baker's chocolate melt-in-a-pot-then-bake-40-minutes recipe would nuke well. That one would probably wind up all over the microwave walls.
