Cooking is the Greatest!

This is my second of four recommendations for great products from Pampered Chef. My number 2 “Must Have” is the Micro-Cooker. This a stylish black plastic bowl with lid. It mimics a saucepan, with a plastic pot with tight-fitting lid. The lid snaps into place so it can be turned upside down without any accidents. The lid is also fit with numerous holes cut, creating a colander that fits right on the pot! This cooker is awesome because it is meant for the microwave and is so multi-functional.

The website recommends using the Micro-Cooker for melting butter, heating soups, or cooking vegetables. Those are great ideas! I use this by far the most for cooking vegetables. That is because I can add water for steaming fresh veggies or simply pouring in a can of veggies then draining them right from the lid when they are cooked! What an awesome, time-saving invention. The other cool use is browning meat, especially ground beef. It is so convenient because it browns easily, and then the grease can simply be strained out!
