I think you'll be pleased with it Mary. It takes you through the basics of
using a microwave, how it works, gives loads of helpful hints and tips and
even has a section on how to adapt traditional recipes for the microwave.

My sort of cooking is rather like my knitting! I'll read the recipe,
maybe try it out once or just go straight ahead and "adjust" it to
what is wanted. This book actually encourages you to do that and was a
great confidence booster when I didn't know what I was letting myself in
for LOL.

On the fuel saving part, I actually monitored my bills for the first year
and the saving over conventional was £120 in that year. As that was about
1980 something that was quite a saving back then.

I have always used the conventional oven for cakes and biscuits.

Same here. I mguess it's true of many round here :-)

Good heavens! Our whole bill isn't much more than that!

I don't suppose I could be bothered with monitoring bills - haven't done
since we installed solar water heating (although it was my intention!) but I
believe you.

Thanks again.

Mary

LOL Mary. It was a 4 bedroom house with two adults and two teenage boys
living in it at the time AND that was before we had the double glazing
installed. :-) We weren't so energy conscious at that time as global
warming didn't exist.

Ah, I see. There were seven of us in the house but I was strict about power
use - couldn't afford big bills :-(

I use the book that came with mine. It has lots of great pictures and
explanations as well as recipes. It sounds like your machine only
came with a manual.

But I think mine is different from yours. Mine looks like a micro-
wave, but a little bigger. I have mine sitting on a cart. I also have
the larger stove top/oven, but rarely use the oven. Since there's
just the two of us, I don't bake that often because we're trying to
watch our weight. I pretty much make everything in the smaller
machine. It's a microwave, convection, conventional machine.
