Re: cooking apple or potato Dear Anupama, I prefer to steam rather than go by your method. This is slightly tricky. Steaming is fool proof. Love, Chithra.

Dear Prabha, Thankyou for your sweet words. It is not a pain, but a pleasure & I immensely enjoy sharing my meagre knowledge with others. We cannot thank God enough for giving us a platform in I L. Love, Chithra. <xml id=yoombaxml></xml>
Hi all, Have u tried using Tupperware bowls ,Steamer etc for ur Microwave . They are amazing. Very easy to wash . Once u use them u will fall in love with them. Recently they have launched lot of Microwave bowls ,even tiffen box. Try them !!!! prabha
Dear Prabha, your are right tupperware bowls are easy to clean. but when i bought a microwave the technician who came for demo and installation from samsung told me not to use n e plastics for cooking. they can be used only for reheating or even if we cook or steam not to let it for more than 10 min. said that holds good for tupperware also. regards, Anupama
