Gift A Day Giveaway #3: Panasonic Genius Inverter Microwave December 6th, 2011

If you have a foodie in your life, then today’s gift a day give away is definitely for you. Worth more than $250, we would Panasonic Genius Inverter Microwave is packed with a variety of advanced features that anyone struggling under the holiday crunch will love. I think my favourite is the “keep warm” function for those who take a bit longer to get to the table. The microwave also adjusts power levels to maintain the texture, flavour and nutritional value of foods without overcooking.
I’ll be honest, at first I thought a microwave would be a weird gift, but then I realized that how often do you treat yourself to a really good microwave? Usually you buy the cheapest one you can find and use it until it breaks. I think the Panasonic microwave will be a perfect edition to anyone’s kitchen.
Two ways to enter, each one will get you an entry to a maximum of two entries per gift! All entries must be received by Monday, December 19th at Noon/MST
1) Leave a comment telling me what’s your favourite meal to come out of the microwave. As a kid, I used to melt chocolate chips and eat them with my finger. So good.
2) Second entry can be done on twitter. Tweet: “I’m going to win a Panasonic Genius Inverter Microwave from @mikesbloggity. http://ow.ly/7RaOx #bloggitygifts”
Good luck and make sure you check back everyday! I’ve got prizes for the next two weeks! It’s going to be a blast!

I make my Rice Krispies treats in the microwave…and it’s delicious!

I used to be crazy for melting cheese on my banana bread slices. Yummmmm!
When I was a kid I used to core an apple and then PACK it FULL of brown sugar and some cinnamon….taste like apple pie, zapped apple pie
I love, love, love microwave popcorn. Sometimes with my schedule, that is dinner!
When I was a kid, we used to grate cheese, melt it in the microwave and eat it with dry ramen noodles. Don’t tell my mother we did that, she’d freak!
Grilled cheese. I toast the bread first, then butter it and put the cheese between the buttered sides. You have to watch out you don’t heat it for too long, otherwise the cheese goes all weird.
Added bonus: there are no dishes to do.
When I was a kid, I used to make chocolate cake in the microwave…I thought that was really something special….ahh, the 80s!
3 words for you Mike…….SWANSON HUNGRYMAN DINNERS. Those things actually taste pretty good and that’s my favourite thing to cook in the microwave.
Soup please!

It’s usually microwave popcorn in my microwave. But have you ever microwaved a gummi bear? If you time it just right they get really massive just before they turn into a slimy mess. (And I tweeted!)

Popcorn!! I am still fascinated by how it comes out so quick!
I love to make popcorn in the microwave!
I love to use a microwave for two things:
1. My favourite food to cook in the microwave are pizza pops. I have loved pizza pops as a kid but I never got to eat them very often (like, once a year) because my mom thought that was the unhealthiest food to buy for me (she’s gotten worse foods). In the last few years I have been able to enjoy the sweet success in buying pizza pops on my own to eat on the occasion.
2. I like to bake, and when I make my dark chocolate peanut butter cups, I put dark chocolate in the microwave.
