Hi Dave,

 DD> And the technology was still young. They had yet to 'splore the
 DD> possibilities.

 RH> There's probably a lot that a microwave can do that hasn't yet been
 RH> explored. Just takes time and inquiring minds to come up with new ideas
 RH> for it.

 DD> And some things that can be done in the microwave should not be done
 DD> that way. Such as roasts.  Voice of experience talking here.  Bv)=

Or a canned ham--my learning curve mistake. Also tried drying some
cornstarch based clay planets for a daughter's science project once,
another OOPS!


 DD>      8<----- SHORTEN ----->8

 RH> The pot that I call my pasta cooker has a perforated insert that the
 RH> pasta goes into. I usually get the water boiling with the insert in the
 RH> pot, then add the pasta. It's a lot easier to drain the pasta, once
 RH> cooked, with the insert. It's also good for blanching vegetables that
 RH> need to be blanched before freezing. (G)

 DD> Sounds very similar to mine.

Probaly is, mine's a Calphalon, 6 quart pot.


 DD> This is the recipe that sparked me to try pasta in the slow cooker.
 DD> Dorothy was a member here when I first joined back in the easrly 90s

I don't remember if she was on when I joined or she joined shortly after
I did. I joined in late January, 1994, so right about now, 31 years ago.
