I'm pretty new to this, so excuse any repeats......Is there any thread out there for ideas / recipes / ect.... for the small micro cooker. My mom wants to buy it, but wants ideas.
 
There are lots of ideas, I suggest doing a search in the files and on threads for micro or micro cooker and just go through them. I highly suggest the micro cookers they are awesome! I think that they are one of my top sellers. One of my customers started raving about them at one of my first shows she said she was getting yet another one (I think she said she had 4 of them at the time) because every time she wanted to use one which was all the time it was dirty, lol.
 
I use mine just about every day! Great for steaming vegetables (either fresh or frozen), grounding hamburg, steaming chicken pieces,etc.

I never got the small one, I always use the large one.

Love the strainer on the cover and it fits the microwave great, don't have to worry about the handle in the way.
 
Melting butter, melting chocolate
 
My son and several of his friends are college students. It's great for Ramen noodles, micro mac & cheese, and canned soup. (One of his friends always tells me, "I love my Ramen noodle bowl, Momma Bates!)
 
Micro Cooker RecipesI just remembered I had this on my computer. I try to keep things like this to give to customers who order them or are contemplating buying them.

I didn't check to see if all of our ideas are on here or not. If not please feel free to update the list and send it back to me. Thanks.
