Too many variables, such as the heat of the room in the first place 
etc.  But if you don't enjoy the end result from a micro-wave, it's 
costing you too much anyway, IMO!

Googling, would you mind giving it again please?

Not this time cos David isn't well and he needs it.  Usually I will allow it
all to cool and lift it off.

LOL  trust you Martin :-)  No, my hens are laying 3 eggs a day,
running around the fields and terrorising my dog.  You should see them
running up the road, like 3 old ladies bustling and clacking together.

I made the chicken soup exactly as you said, it is delicious, my
husband ate the meat of the chicken plus broth and veggies and I had
the broth with the veggies in as I'm not too partial to very much
meat.  I think it is very nourishing and full of protein.  I wonder
how well does it freeze as I made a big pot full?  Anyway thank you O,
I have added that to my loose leaf cookery book.  Any chance you could
sort it out and do a bit of A to Z as it is very difficult to find
anything  :-)
