Anyone have any good recipes for the microwave..

I am told that the micro wave uses a great deal of electricy in very little time..is this true?

I make lots of stuff in my microwave - especially oatmeal (even 'slow cooking') and couscous. It's also awesome for reheating things, and for melting butter for recipes.

I really love the instant popcorn.

Quick and nutritious snack..if it doesn't have too much butter or salt.

I use my microwave for so many things! I cook all the puddings for my pies... meatloaves...bread puddings....cakes...muffins...all my candies....hamburger that goes into casseroles...fudge sauce...lots of other sauces.
I don't know about the "electricity" thing.
If you have anything specific in mind you would like...let me know and I'd be glad to share with you.
Most things are just regular recipes though...it's more of a "timing" thing when you do them in the microwave.

I use mine for all kinds of things:

Melting butter, chocolate, etc.
Steam-cooking veggies
Popcorn
Roasting chicken

And heating up leftovers of course!
