We have a 3 stack steamer on the boat - means we can cook all the veges using one pot with water and the slowest vege on the bottom and add layers depending on required cooking time. Saves gas, saves time (and we don't have a microwave so cannot do as you do).<br />Good news about the gasman being so responsive!<br />Cheers, Marilyn (nb Waka Huia but still in NZ at the moment)Marilyn, nb Waka Huiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485346080040799974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946325688134943823.post-38772204003661516602017-03-17T06:06:23.322+00:002017-03-17T06:06:23.322+00:00I tend to only use 1 pan at a time when cooking an...I tend to only use 1 pan at a time when cooking anyway - ie, the veg each gets it's own "turn" before being blanched in cold water before a final "blast" in the microwave before serving... that comes from working in a pub kitchen a long time ago and it works very well! - assuming the batteries are charged enough for the microwave :-) Quaysiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04372015225898397642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946325688134943823.post-29516481979496279362017-03-17T06:04:32.911+00:002017-03-17T06:04:32.911+00:00"zoned" is a kind alternative to "c..."zoned" is a kind alternative to "crappy" :-) - Thanks for the tip on upside down chickens... it must work as Joan (a woman on a boat about 200 yards away) suggested the same thing when we were chatting the other evening.

That gets the bottom of the legs going. Your Yorkshires look cracking,can't wait to try out the oven on Oleanna.
