A friend of mine is having a tupperware party this weekend so i am looking to you experienced shoppers for any tupperware 'must-haves'.  I liked the look of the muffin form but it says it only hold 1/4 cup???  And i think you really need a minimum of 12 - 7 muffin holes means i have to cook, turn out, refill and cook again

I have the T-Bar molds but they can't go in the oven???  If they could i would use it all the time.  I really want to love tupperware but i find that whilst their products are great quality and have some great aspects, there is always something that annoys me.

Snappy I have those t-bar things that I bought to help out my friend (didn't want anything else), but I've never used them! Have you any good ideas on how to use them?

I bought the tupperware microwave jug with lid (think its about 1 litre) and I use it at least once a day. Love it. Sometimes I wish I had 2, as quite often we pop some leftovers in it for the fridge to heat up for lunch the next day.

Soblessed i don't use it much either because it can't go in the oven and most slice recipes i know need to be cooked.  It did come with a recipe book but none of those have floated my boat so to speak.  If i had known it could not go in the oven i probably would not have bought it.  It seems so strange that it is not ovenproof because most recipes need to be cooked?

Yes, Snappy that was the same with me! Definitely not very good recipes that came with it, & i never found anything online, so there they sit wasting space in my kitchen cos I can't just get rid of them can I.

Snappy, are these for making the LCM's & muesli bars?.....if so, it's just melt and mix & more for just shaping and setting them.
The most used tupperware in my cupboards is the microwave rice cooker (just love it!).....as usually the TM jug is cooking the sauce.  And also love the microwave jug puffs is talking about, the slice containers and the jelly ring when I'm inclined.

Maddy i have the microwave pasta cooker which i use a lot.  I tend to cook the rice in the TMX though.

Does the microwave jug have measurements on it?

It does



I had purchased the pasta maker at one stage, but I haven't used it  :-[  I think at the time I thought the cooking times were vague....so I didn't bother  :P
