My wife and I are convinced that we want a microwave, but we're wondering if those that have a browning element are worth the extra cost. Any comments from those who have one about how useful (or not) they have found this to be? -- David.Anderson@cmu-cs-k.ARPA ...!seismo!cmu-cs-k!dba (412) 422-1255

If you look at a couple of good microwave cookbooks, they'll give you hints how to brown just about anything. I've come to the conclusion that breads and cakes are better in a conventional oven, and meats can be browned with any number of things in the kitchen... chuq -- Chuq Von Rospach, National Semiconductor {cbosgd,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA Be seeing you!

Burned, oxidized, fats cause havoc in the body and have been implicated as a possible cause of cancer. On the other hand, I would not imagine Browing sauce would be any better. I bought a browning dish for my microwave and I use it for lamb chops. It works great. -- scc!steiny Don Steiny - Personetics @ (408) 425-0382 ihnp4!pesnta -\ 109 Torrey Pine Terr. ucbvax!twg --> scc!steiny Santa Cruz, Calif. 95060 fortune!idsvax -/
