The Opera Populaire

Hubs and I bought this during the recent Tangs 12% rebate sale day and have been exploring its endless functions. FYI, this is a microwave, convection oven and grill, steamer etc all in one. For $300++, this seemed to us a very good deal. A church friend recommended this to us. It was $700 when she bought it 7 years ago. You can see how good an electronic product is when it has been in the market so long.

So far, we had made: baked pasta (success!), banana cake (success, but we need to buy a smaller baking pan), roast chicken wings (it has an Auto function specially for this...not bad except that it was programmed for whole chicken and we removed it a little late, resulting in a dry, though edible chicken, shepherd's pie (success!!! but I could have made smaller portion...it's hard to cook for 2 ppl hehe...and oh, I stumbled upon the BEST mashed potato recipe in the process).

Cooking is therapeutic, Raine once said. It's true...takes my mind off various worries that have been plaguing me for 2 years now and probably less expensive than retail therapy. So our awful Cornell toaster can finally be retired.
