Rushing Chicken

To say the words "roast chicken" and "microwave oven" in the same sentence is not something any serious foodie will readily accept. It conjures up pictures of pale yellow rubber. I was the same until I got my LG Solardom.

This little miracle worker is amazing. It has a "Speed Auto Cook" function which roasts meat with heat and uses just the right amount of microwave power to cook the inside. You end up with a crispy roasted chicken with succulent flesh in about 30 mins - start to finish.

It also does baked potatoes, with a crispy skin and soft fluffy inside in less than 15 minutes.

This function is great for energy saving - which makes more sense after the electricity tariff increase we had yesterday of 31%!

This chicken, I marinaded whole (in a bag) for about 2 hours with Robersons Portuguese Spice, lemon juice and honey. I then roasted it in the Solardom for 30 minutes, left it to rest for another 15 minutes covered in foil, while I baked the potatoes. Within an hour we had our meal - perfectly cooked! That's easy in any one's language.
