January is the time of big culinary goals and kitchen resets. We aspire to finally learn to use a pressure cooker, we plan to study the nuances of sourdough, we dream of cranking out homemade pasta: it all involves new tools and a whole lot of time. Instead, what if we told you that in this new year it will be possible to save countless hours by using an appliance that you already have?
Well, it’s true. In this livestream class, we’ll turn to the microwave to make four fundamental, building-block dishes that will prepare you to creatively mix and match all year long. You’ll poach chicken in milk to keep it tender and succulent. You’ll cook fish in the microwave—that’s right: you’re about to learn that when you cook fish in the right dishes, it won’t make your kitchen smell fishy at all. You’ll make rice without ever turning on your stove, preventing dreaded boil-overs and cursed burnt bottoms. You’ll braise greens in record time by using the concentrated, efficient power of the microwave to render them tender and silky. And, as a bonus, we’ll clue you in to the surprising ease of toasting nuts in the microwave. In the downtime we gain, we’ll whip up a punchy chili-sesame dressing that’s composed entirely of pantry ingredients. When you serve up bowls of tender rice topped with a perfectly cooked protein and nutrient-rich greens, drizzled with a bold sauce and topped with crunchy toasted peanuts, you might not even believe you made it in the microwave. Oh, and did we mention that, when you can store your feast in the same dishes you cooked and served it in, there are no dirty dishes at the end?
This class is generously sponsored by Anyday. Anyday’s mission is to help people reclaim their love of cooking and their free time by unlocking the power of their microwaves. Here's a stunning fact: 90% of U.S. households already have a microwave. (That’s 110 million households!) Most of us have no idea what our microwaves are actually capable of, beyond reheating leftovers and coffee. That’s where Anyday comes in.
Anyday creates products that unleash this microwave magic: turning raw ingredients into delicious and nutritious home-cooked meals — in record time. Anyday makes it easier to enjoy the flavors and recipes you love. No tradeoffs, any meal and any day of the week. It’s about time you put your microwave to work. Because at the end of the day, we all need more free time to feed and connect with the people we care about.
