Can you make it using any/ all of the following: microwave, kettle, panini press?
You probably can .... you can make microwave cakes..... so I'd go down that route.
Edit: Googled it, yes. https://www.google.co.uk/#q=microwave+mayonnaise+cake
You will probably need to make/eat 20 cakes to get through it all though0 -

I have a similar sounding watch which was my 21st birthday present. Although how you describe them sounds similar, I wouldn't be surprised if they are quite different and yours was more expensive than mine.
No private number plates on Miniver
I don't know why you make such an assumption.

Glad you've chosen and paid for it, so now it's behind you and the cost is immaterial.
I could have spent the next however many more months 'researching', definitely glad to have got it sorted and out of the way.
It's definitely an extravagance. But hey, at the moment I'm lucky enough to be in a job that means I have a bit left over for things like this. Might not always be the case so I should enjoy it every now and again really.0 -

Bloke on Come Dine with Me is the biggest disaster ever... so far (they've just eaten starters) he's managed to:
• Blind baked something with rice, forgetting to put paper in first so the rice baked into the pastry
• Set fire to something under the grill (in a house he's borrowed from a friend)
• Tripped on the steps trying to deliver the starters to the table and smashed the plates
Edit: And now he's served up the dessert, which is the pastry case he was making, and told them "if you find rice in it" and apologised that he's burnt it too.0 -

That's my kind of cooking.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”
