My husband and I researched it a long time ago and it has been known for some time. Think it was Swedish research. To think, there are some people who have never had ANYthing other than what comes out of a microwave. Yup, I admit..we have one..to reheat an already cooked lasagna,or something of that nature..but to cook from scratch???

Now that's some creative problem solving!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12223915282792998545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002212249736084772.post-75670900216793715192010-10-21T08:27:07.392-07:002010-10-21T08:27:07.392-07:00Hi Dee!

He had done his doctoral dissertation on the effects of microwaves on plant material and the food we eat. He advised me to ditch my microwave because of the ill effects not only on what we eat, but potentially harmful effects on our bodies as well. I did as he suggested that very day, and haven't owned one since. Hence...my use of the stainless steel saucepan. In addition, you can keep heat on the pan and still use the immersion blender.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07413784220152607616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002212249736084772.post-72697727005050043052010-10-20T06:50:51.834-07:002010-10-20T06:50:51.834-07:00I feel the same way about grinding and finally wen...I feel the same way about grinding and finally went to pre-ground. I think it was just the ritual of doing everything from scratch. I even tried toasting beans once with a popcorn popper. Enough of that! I feel sorry for my parents who never experienced really GOOD coffee..every morning in the perc..Maxwell or Folgers. Ugh.Zoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05849080653521461979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002212249736084772.post-47663720609009882932010-10-17T19:10:55.372-07:002010-10-17T19:10:55.372-07:00Hi Linda-
Can you talk a little about why to use ...Hi Linda-<br /><br />Can you talk a little about why to use a sauce pan instead of a microwave to heat the milk? <br /><br />I agree with you about the simple espresso maker. I used one when I returned from an exchange program in Italy, and find that I return to it after each visit back to the country. However, I veer away from it after several months, but can't say why. Perhaps it's the jittery hands and heart palps that get to me after awhile. On my most recent return to this maker, I have enjoyed the ease of clean-up! The coffee grounds stay clumped together such that a quick knock in the compost bin and simple rinse is all it takes.<br /><br />I also know what you're saying about the cost! Four or five bucks vs. fifty cents-ish...think of the ski passes I could buy!<br /><br />I love the salvation sisters!Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00149517223236094975noreply@blogger.com
