+ Avalon Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 I bought some steaks earlier this year. I took one out of the freezer to defrost yesterday. Today I'll cook it in the microwave.
bnm73 Posted September 3, 2018 Author Posted September 3, 2018 I bought some steaks earlier this year. I took one out of the freezer to defrost yesterday. Today I'll cook it in the microwave. If possible.... Salt it now, even if it's still frozen. To cook it, put it in a hot pan on the stove top for 3-4 minutes a side (depending on how thick the steak is) for medium rare to medium. Much tastier and more reliable than microwave cooking. + bashful and instudiocity 2

I'm afraid to use the stove. I might fall and not be able to turn it off and burn down the building. I can set the microwave timer.

It might be worth investing in a little hot plate if the stove is difficult for you to use because of difficulty getting around. Even a one-burner hotplate will let you sear your steak or burgers while you cook some frozen veggies in the microwave. liubit, + Avalon and Gvtire 3

+ Avalon Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 I really enjoy saisons I'm sure it is in the article but it's a belgian style farm ale. You are right. <<As a beer style, saison began as a pale ale brewed in the cooler, less active months in farmhouses in Wallonia, the French-speaking region of Belgium, and stored for drinking in the summer months.>> + Reisr30 1

I used to like darker belgian ales too but as I have gotten older they also trigger headaches similar to wine + Avalon 1
