Can you share a recipe?
I cup of raw peanuts on a microwave proof plate, cook 3 minutes on high, stirring half way through. Take out, add 1 teaspoon cooking oil and salt, mix well and cook a further 40 seconds on high. Time will vary according to microwaves. Hot nuts are just fantastic! Or for the BBQ fans out there with a hooded BBQ, open a can of beer, drink half of it, sit the can on the grill of your BBQ, place a whole raw chicken on top of the can, shut the hood and cook for an hour. The nicest, moistest chicken ever, and all the fat drains away.
