<DIV>Sometimes when motivation doesn’t permit my standing over a stove to brown
hamburger, I’ll just take a pound, break it into small pieces in a round glass
casserole with lid, cover and put on “high” for 5 minutes, and it doesn’t seem
stringy or flavorless to me—it may not be browned, per se, but when I cover it
with other stuff like in a shepherd’s pie, or mix it with other stuff, it’s just
fine. Also, when I do Italian sausages, I put that, plus about 1/4 cup water to
keep it moist, in a round casserole with lid also and nuke for 5
minutes; if it isn’t fork-firm, I just stick it in for another minute or
two.</DIV>

<DIV>Sometime soon, I’m going to try my hand at a nice lentil/chickpea/lamb stew
I read about recently, with all kinds of nice seasonings and even orzo and lemon
juice, plus lamb chops which I intend to cut into bite-sized pieces with kitchen
shears and not even bother browning. Just have to stock up on some of the
ingredients, but I’m guessing maybe the beginning of next month is my target
date for that.</DIV>
