Singing Swede

[Caran]

I cooked this over the weekend, absolutely brilliant, no peeling, no chopping, no boiling, no mashing. Never do it the old way again.

[tamaris]

Is that the one done whole in the microwave ?

[Caran]

Yes tamaris, I originally did it for 15 minutes, then another 5 then another 5 and it was done to a turn. Just scooped it out and job done.

[tamaris]

I did one for the 1st time last week. In all it took 30 minutes, but it was great.

[maggiebee]

How do you do this Caran? Love swede but find the peeling a real pain.

[maggiebee]

Oops, just noticed a link.

[Caran]

Just put the whole swede in microwave, cook until done, no pricking or peeling.

Brilliant isn't it!

Answerbank is really weird sometimes.

I thought this was a question about one of the Abba girls.

We have swede at least once a week nowadays, thanks to this microwave method of cooking them. I try to buy the smaller ones and cook for 10 minutes one way, turn up for another 5 and keep turning and cooking until they squeeze soft. I then cut it in half and scoop out the flesh out in one go. Delicious.

[Barsel]

LoL @ Hopkirk. Where do you buy them from and are they actually called that? x

[Barsel]

I just put swinging swede in the search box on Tesco website and it said No Results.

[-Talbot-]

They are just ordinary swedes, they only sing when nuked!

[BlackadderV]

Possibly because you typed in swinging instead of singing.

[-Talbot-]

Try putting 'swinging swede' into the Ikea website......you may have a bit more luck.

[Calibax]

They're ordinary swedes. They 'sing' because of the steam escaping from tiny holes in the skin

[Barsel]

That's funny Talbot. I've obviously made a typing error :-) x

[Barsel]

So, you just buy an ordinary swede and put it in the microwave for 20 - 30 mins?

[DaisyNonna]

A whole swede? Six foot, blond and eminently desirable?
