Yesterday while in a rather well known supermarket I wont name it but Jamie Oliver Advertises it and there is a lord with the same name.

I was walking around past the steak and noticed a little sticker on it

"This product contains a security device that is not microwaveable"

Two questions come to mind :

1. Who would microwave a stake
2. What is this security device is it in the stake it self?

its normally a metal based sticker on the packaging, and lots of people microwave in the packaging..


as for microwaving a steak, thats scarolige (and thats me not being able to spell)

Jst doing a bit of "research" eh

and you spotted this during one of your weekly 'loitering round the chilled food section of sainsbury's' i take it? we all know what you're doing there! don't deny it!
just don't eat anything for the "be good to yourself" range, it might taste nice, but other than that you're being a total b@$t~~D to your body by eating it!

as for random things on packages: why does a packet of peanuts say "may contain nuts"? it does seem to imply there's a chance of there being no nuts inside it!
and why is Sea Weed called sea weed when it's not? mad! blatent false advertising that is (right up there with "the never ending story")

Around the world there are some very strange warnings on products.. makes you wonder what caused them to put the warning there in the first place..

me thinks its time for another thread

Only t'other day I purchased half a dozen extra large eggs from Asda. I got home and decided to fry the heck out of them, and whilst they were sizzling away I passed the time by reading the information proffered by the inside of the carton.

Hmm, what about these eggs then? I thought as I read. "These eggs have been laid by hens that are allowed to roam freely," good stuff "These eggs comply to British Health and Safety standards blah blah waffle.." excellent "These eggs have been stamped with a code that enables you to determine when and where they were laid etc etc," nice one "Allergy advice: contains egg."

I fell off my kitchen stool.

Only the British and Yankees would Microwave a Steak.

We dont mess with our Steaks or any other meat by putting security devices in them.

I buy them straight from the Butcher most of the time any way.
I am a serious chef. Some of you already know that.

Though it sounds like something Walmart would do. But I dont shop there.

The French Saute.
The Japanese cook them on their special grills, I forget the name.
Southern use open flame.
British broil or now micorwave.

How dare you! We grill our steaks.

(Yes, that is a joke.)

Actually, we also barbecue them and my father's recipe calls for frying.

very few british people actually know what Broiling is anyway, they'd probably think it's some fancy way of boiling something.

I'd never heard of broiling until I bought an american cookbook. I had to look it up.

Nobody in their right mind would microwave a steak. The sticker is generic, and will probably only apply to foods being thawed.

Secondly, all this talk of steaks is doing my head in... all this talk of 'broiling' (Flame-grilling, for those non-Americans) etc. is really getting away from the point of the question or 'how do you like yours' is irrelevant.

NOBODY ACTUALLY SAID THEY MICROWAVE STEAKS!

The answer is simple. It's as generic as the label I recently saw stuck to a lime which said "Plastic bags can be dangerous to small children". No bag was evident.

i deliberately don't cut up those plastic rings that keep beer cans together, as i absolutely despise swans...

Abraxus that's horrible and I'm going to pretend that you didn't just write that!!!

As for steak, rubbed with fresh herbs and cooked in red wine has got to be te best way! yum yum

Correction:

The British mostly pan-fry their steaks. But being a 'bit of a chef', you already know that.

surely by now you know when I'm joking lomster...
