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

Mrs.C, the picture itself seems to be so tempting..cant wait until krishna jayanthi.

Want to make sure abt adding vellam directly in the milk(no curdle will happen) ?

Thanks once again.
