I didn't force myself to give up something because of the way I cook. I am
lucky that my tastes are on the same page as my cooking preferences. I don't
like too many boiled foods anyway, and the ones I do like, I found
alternative ways of cooking. I do like a lot of fried foods, but I like the

I've gotten okay results with cheap macaroni and cheese and the various

I use the oven and microwave mostly. I use the stovetop to boil pasta,
occasionally. and I use the stovetop to make bacon and scrambled eggs
because I like them better that way.

I have a microwave egg cooker, I add water to it, sprinkle a little salt
into the water, put eggs into the top compartment, and after 9 minutes of
cooking, I have nice hard-boiled eggs.

A number of vegetables I prefer raw, with the exception of potatoes and a
few others. With pasta, I usually cook regular spaghetti, not a microwavable
product. I make a single serve recipe of macaroni and cheese in the
microwave, or sometimes I cook the same single serving of spaghetti for a
pasta

Yes, I agree that stovetop is simple. You can practice just knowing where
things are with the fire off. Then turn it on. You can boil eggs for your
first try. Or just boil water and pour it over a colander in the sink to

You basically just treat the rice cooker like an electric skillet at a low
temperature. The simple ones with just one button only get hot and then shut
off or go to warm when the rice is done. They know it is done when the

I grew up with an electric stove and cooked on it even though blind at least

That's exactly what I did. Open the package, slice off what I wanted to use

It's really nice because all you have to do is open the package and
slice it up. Can't do that with a package of ground beef. (lol)
Oh, it only takes that one-second reaction.

Stove top is simple if you practice. And practice with the stove off at
first. It's all a question of position awareness. Higher rim pots also help

I use the oven and the microwave for my cooking, trying to avoid stovetop

We use Success rice sometimes, and it's great! You just boil the bag
for about ten minutes, and then you're done. They've got different ones, too.

Yes, microwaves have come a long way in the past few years. Mine is

rice and pasta cookers designed specifically for microwaves. Same goes

Hi there. If you use this recipe, you will need to add a couple teaspoons or
maybe even a whole tablespoon of your favorite oil. I would use olive oil in
this, but you could use any vegetable oil. The fat content in ground turkey
is way different than pork.
