I can’t believe I got to the age of 38 without knowing this can happen. It worries me there may be other people out there who are also unaware of this fact, which means waffles can be ready in literally minutes, without any need of pre-heating grills, so I wanted to share this with you all.

 

Please feel free to share any other cooking tips, especially junk food related ones.

Get a combination microwave/grill

roast tatties in 15mins

 

Thats cheating. Roast spuds deserve much better than that, you might as well buy frozen ones.

 

scotty's roast spud solution: peeled king edwards or maris pipers, boil for 7 minutes while the duck fat or oil/butter heats up nicely in the oven at 200 degrees. Sling them into a sieve and shake them about until the surface is fluffy, straight into the fat, stir them til their coated, sprinkle of salt and cook for 45 minutes until they are crispy. Jobs a good'un.

One reason I like veggie burgers - 2 minutes from freezer to stomach via microwave. And, I had the potato waffle/toaster deal done 25 years ago - excellent post pub snack. Also frozen doughnuts in the microwave, but mind that hot jam! The cheapest lunch you can possibly get over here in Australia is packet noodles - 30c a pack from Woolies. I practically live on them. The joys of haute cuisine!

Potato cakes can be done in the toaster.

i'm wondering if other potato items could also be toasted?

Hash Browns, Smilies ? i suppose 1 of those thick/thin toasters would be best for this or it could get a bit messy.

 

Mashed potato is no good in a toaster.

 

Or soup.

 

I was surprised as well.

It's only you don't have to worry about uncooked meat with meat products. Most veggie burgers are totally sythentic, so doesn't really matter if a bit is still frozen when you eat it. I just like the idea of super quick home based hot food.
