am leaning towards the grill but toast is the nuts

keep the grill and buy a toaster for 6 quid

but the toaster is 1 with 4 different settings so the toast pops out at 1 min intervals

[ ] useful

Neither

piping hot toast 1 after the other

 I mean who wants cold toast?

Why ask if it's clear you want the toaster?

cos with singledom loomimg the george does loads of stuff which could be handy

tis why i'm pondering

The grill must be worth more than the toaster, pure economic decision. If you need a toaster just pop along to asda or somewhere it will be cheap as.

no

is this a toaster/dvd cos i cant work out how it's more than the grill


*if said item does not exist please invent it*

Must be an expensive toaster then! Let me rephrase that the toaster is cheaper to replace.

fk the toaster, it is single purpose, take the GFG and get a cheap one or save up for the shit hot one you have!

I'm going to start my own thread debating the merits of the microwave vs. the kettle.

FFs decision made! just asked about the toaster and it reminded the mrs it was a present from her uncle so she wins it hands down..

KO blow delivered

Kettle obv, when our kettle last broke the whole boiling water crap was a right pain in the arse.

microwave wil heat water

kettle  cant do ding dinners

How is this even a question. The grill always wins! George Foreman will come round your house and knock the crap out of you if you pick the toaster..and quite rightly so!

Seriously, the George Foreman grill is the best piece of kitchen equipment we have...I love that thing!

CIA is going to use the rope a dope strategy and pretend he want to keep the toaster for the first few rounds. Then when George gets tired around the 8th, out comes the grill and it will be all over.

I can hear CIA now "I Toast like a butterfly, George...Toast like a butterly"

;applause;

lol

 rotflmfao ;applause;

Agreed, my dinners are often microwaved.

Why do you need either?

Surely a grill does the same job but makes things taste better?

Grilled toast>>>>>>Toaster toast

Grilled food>>>>>>>>GFG food

And the microwave thing. Well they're ridiculously over rated. They're quick and easy I'll grant you that but they make everything taste shit. Lazy man's folly!!

Oven or hob every time!!!

Must admit that a kettle's useful though. That's only because it does exactly the same job to the same standard but quicker.

That largely depends on what you're microwaving.

A whole meal in a microwave is just for convenience - but elements of one are just the same as other methods.

No, it's all shit from a microwave.

Name one of these elements please.

I don't believe one exists.

Baked Beans - are you really saying they taste different heated on a hob?

Apart from quick defrosting (done badly) the ONLY thing a microwave is good for is microwave in the bag popcorn.

is that another FACT Rod? lol

lol @ everyone dissing microwaves like they've never used one...

yes they do..baked beans from a microwave are disgusting. When warming baked beans you need to keep stirring them.

They haven't exactly got a complicated sauce - it doesn't need constant stirring.

Although if you're saying bunging things in the microwave, turning the power to max, and zapping it until things start popping - yes, that way, it won't taste good.

No, it's an opinion. Glad to keep educating you though.

I don't get microwaving beans. it takes longer than doing them on the hob

Easier washing up, less effort overall.

EDIT: and also handy when all your hobs are in use

maybe ull make a once a yr post on a poker related thread and you can educate me there

never has so much bollocks been spoken about microwaving beans. how is the washing up easier? half the time when you microwave them you get those scabby burnt bits that need scrubbing off as opposed to a saucepan that can pretty much just be rinsed clean

yes that way you'll get scabby burnt bits

lol, so you get all gourmet with your microwave baked beans do you. fine adjustments on the wattage and timing the cooking to the second? do you fk. you just burn the little buggers like everyone else. do yourself a favour and buy a set of pans instead

timing, stirring and a rough idea of low, medium or high - not exactly an effort.

:D I only said baked beans because I thought it would be the least likely thing you could mess up in a microwave.

I remember when domestic microwaves first came out and the press told everyone that they were really dangerous if you turned them on when empty and would blow up so everyone used to keep a little bowl of water inside just in case the thing should ever accidentally spring to life. people are funny

Alternatively, you could use a little kitten.

If you like nasty hard beans in a watery sauce then a microwave is fine.

If you prefer them cooked properly in a nice thickened sauce then hob is better.

As for washing up... Please Jon, that really isn't an excuse.

Oh and 5 ring hob ftw!!

good idea though it would need to be a dead one as a live one would just walk out. you should never shut the door as this would increase the chance of accidental oven activation, it was all over the press at the time

Heinz beans snap-pots. 1 min in microwave, no washing up. Simples.

You could use a live one.  Just remove its legs first.

Microwaves

If a recipe calls for mixing butter over some kind of pasta dish near the end after you've removed the pan from the heat then I like to melt it in a microwave first so I don't have to stir too much and threaten the structural integrity of the pasta.

Oh, and I also find it useful for cooking all the crappy pierce film lid shit that I buy.

I suppose you could tie the kitten to a tiny chair

WOW, Googling kitten in microwave brings back too many results for my liking;
