Phage Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Can anyone recommend any decent microwave meals? My fav would be an Asda curry deal, usually id cook it in the oven but it can be microwaved. But at 1000 calories a pop its more of a treat than an everyday dinner thing. Stuck at a site with only a microwave (and JustEateries) to provide for dinner so just wondering whats good? The less cooking faff the better and nutritional value isnt all that important but im not going to be eating Rustlers burgers or something like that for the next 3 weeks. Anyway any suggestions would be nice. Ps. I could probably cook a big dish of pasta and heat it up but im really unorganised with that sort of forward planning so looking for alternatives to that :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_R Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Haha great topic!Pretty much all of Scotmid/Co-ops are really nice (dear though!) nice beef stew with dumplings, Or Youngs admiral pie (a classic!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogsy Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Haha great topic! Pretty much all of Scotmid/Co-ops are really nice (dear though!) nice beef stew with dumplings, Or Youngs admiral pie (a classic!) Was going to post this. Great healthy living range as well at <400 calories a pop. Will usually go for the Jamaican Jerk chicken and rice if I'm in a rush or can't be arsed cooking.

iantjambo Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 We got rid of our microwave when we moved house as it was on its last legs, we didn't replace it and can't say I particularly miss it.

Regal Kingston Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Macintosh macaroni cheese. Two minutes then your done. Had a paella from The Co-op that was decent too.

reaths17 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 i'm kinda surprised at how many people buy frozen/packeted full of aditives food that's basic recipes, macaroni etc. a stew/casserole needs to be made for about 5/6 for it to work properly, roast chicken cant make that for 2. not many have mentioned it, why don't people make a large batch meal and freeze portions for quick n easy meals when in a rush. going out sharp after work frozen container of chilli in the microwave, simples. why spend on the frozen chilli full of chemicals/sugars/salts when its not rocket science to make your own ?

Phage Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Here come the food police... the OP is asking because he is a combination of too busy and/or lazy to cook a big batch and freeze portions.

But that was not the question. it's still the same topic. i'm not having a go at anyone, its just generally hard making a roast chicken for 1 a stew for 1 macaroni for 1 etc, even for 2 theres plenty left and not many mentions of self freezing for a, "canny be ersed cooking day" when the homemade is better for you.
