Can’t brag, though. I bought a steamer bag of seasoned cod at the grocery and followed the directions.
It was perfect and delicious. The only downside is that now the microwave smells like fish.
I microwaved vinegar water afterward. I microwaved baking soda water, and wiped down the interior with baking soda. Still smells like fish.
But it sure was good. I confess: I can’t cook cod fer snakes. Tilapia, I can cook. Salmon, I can cook. Cod, not. So I’ll probably do this again, fishy smell and all.
I’m posting at Fatal Foodies this week about a vegan feast of lentils, broccoli, and rice noodles.
A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Write about somebody who can’t cook or make or do something discovering a way to cook or make or do it well.

March 3, 2020 at 10:02amYour post is timely for me. I have cod thawing in the refrigerator for tonight’s dinner. It’s not the fancy schmancy kind like yours, so I have my fingers crossed that I’ll turn out ok.

March 5, 2020 at 9:50amI am very sparse in my microwave cookery. I haven’t found it satisfactory, for the most part. I use microwaves for reheating and the occasional microwave pre-packaged thingy. The only things I actually COOK in a microwave are mug cakes and scrambled eggs if I’m overnighting at a friend’s, get up before everybody else, and don’t want to rattle pans.
