standard fan oven vs microwave convection setting
A friend has been using the microwave as an oven, using a convection setting which he said is the same as a fan oven, you can put foil in as well. Can anyone here confirm that its the same? Does it cook as well? Also is it actually cheaper if you are mainly cooking small dishes?

Whole Duck

I have never bought a whole duck before - only duck breast - so I’m wondering how many meals you would expect to get out of a 2kg duck? Would it be similar to the same sized chicken? And what would you use the leftovers for? I can think of duck pancakes,…

To give an idea, during the weekend I was walking around in a t-shirt and a light cotton jacket. He was wearing long-sleeved shirt, a down jacket, a…
