Mindlessly silly. There is nothing in a CD player where that approach is even possible.

I need money quite badly,and saw a clinical trial offering about £1000
for 6 days. The only problem is that I have a history of
depression,and in the past my doctors reports have stopped me from
taking part. does anyone know of a work-around this problem? All i can
think of is going online and finding a GP in some third world country
who might write the report fro me. But I don't know where to begin
searching google for that information. Also the language barrier might
be a problem. Thanks in adnvace to anyone who might be able to think
of a solution. Bye.

The solution is not to find a doctor so you can receive this 1k, rather the
solution is to reduce your expenses to live on the income you currently
receive or to increase your regular income.

Things like this can't be relied on everyday. Best to arrange things for the
long term where regular income can take care of the expenses.

The basic needs are food, water, and shelter. So far as I know, these things
can be had easily for free just about anywhere in the U.S. - Just ask!

From: "john royce"

When making casseroles in the microwave combination oven, I try to fill the
oven right up; so as to be frugal with electricity.

Although some casserole dishes come with lids, I find that these fairly
close fitting lids usually create a build up of pressure and some of the
liquid then squirts out, all over the place.

To utilise all available oven space it means stacking two casserole dishes
one on top of the other. Using a normal oven this would be simple to do
(bearing in mind I'm not using lids) by using a metal rack on the lower one
to support the upper one.

But when using the combination feature (which I find usefully lessons the
cooking time) both normal heating and microwave are used "together". So when
the microwave is on, a metal rack cannot be used.

We have been trying to think of a means of supporting one casserole dish on
top of another one ( the top one usually a smaller diameter ) by means of
something that will tolerate microwaves and the hotter temperatures using
the normal oven heating element. Does such a thing exist anywhere for this
purpose, or what might be some neat way to solve this problem? Thanks for
advice.

Let's get this straight... you are trying to think of a creative way to
save about .0000000000002 pennies worth of electricity? C'mon, be
serious now... is this a troll? -Dave

Would it be possible to use the casserole lid but upside down, so that it
doesn't create the seal? Stand the top dish on the lid. Hopefully it would
give more stability that something flat.

I can't muster up much concern over a penny worth of electricity for a
microwave. I just don't use it that way. How long do you have it running
that you feel you need to pack it full to make it most cost effective?
Does the quality of cooking suffer from being packed full?

If I had to support one pot on top of the other, I'd probably just take
a couple of chopsticks out of the drawer, lay them across the lower pot,
and sit the upper pot on top.

Have I missed something?

Could you make a rack out of chopsticks across the lower casserole?

You could also put the chopsticks across the casserole before putting
the lid on top.

Thanks to the sensible responses. The glass casserole dishes are so well
made that the lids are too closely fitting even when placed upside down.
Using the oven eating element easily brings the temperature up to where the
wood (chopsticks) cannot cope with it.

How full are we talking here? You need some space in there for heat
circulation.

A build-up of pressure? That's a new one to me. Are you sure it's just
not the contents of the casserole bubbling due to the cooking?

My microwave came with a metal rack. . . .

Invert a pie place over the bottom one and don't fill the bottom
casserole so full that it will bubble over. Set your second casserole
on top of the inverted pie plate.

PS: I am not responsible for any burns you may incur, nor any mess, nor
any bad language.

Alternatively, get a pizza stone, the right drill bit, and drill holes
in it ‹ the DIY rack you seek.

Great idea, Pete! Better than mine and I wish I'd thought of it first.

what about the bottom of one of those chinese bamboo steamers which are
a grid of bamboo sticks?

These are pretty cheap, or you could use the lid of a microwave streamer
as sold by matalan.

It would need to be something which does not conduct electricity - non
metal. Maybe you could find something like a cookie sheet for a regular oven
which is non metal and cut it to size, then support it with glass supports
at each corner. Or maybe a "glass blower" person could design something for
you?

Maybe even "glass rods" made into a rack with supports like a metal rack?

As to saving pennies or fractions thereof, if people would learn to add,
they would know that pennies add up to dollars! That is why my electric bill
will be $28 U.S. this month. Many things I have done to my electric system
which save pennies!

Yeah, not sure what the whole deal is with metal and microwave ovens -
ours also came with two metal racks of different heights intended
(mainly) for combination-cooking of baked potatoes; ie micro first, then
direct heat to brown/crispen them.

I don't know whether the issue is that metal can become
disproportionately hot with microwaves only, thereby maybe melting a
plastic bowl or burning the unwary user?

Then again, the legs of our racks even have little rubber feet! so don't
ask me.

No, problem solving can be cheap.

But in the original question, there is the assumption that filling the
microwave saves money. I'm not so sure, since the more you put in, the
longer it takes to heat up, and hence electricity use increases. The
advantage of smaller portions at a time is that you can better control how
it cooks, and it's certainly easier to open the door, take the lid off one
package and stir (when stirring is needed) than to deal with a full oven.

So in order for the need for some sort of rack, one first has to see if
there really is a savings from filling up that microwave, or is it
basically the same electricity useage cooking things separately.

I do most of my grocery shopping once a month. Then throughout the month, I
might need just one or two items...

So many times I go to the grocery store and buy a couple of things. And when
I do this, I notice and remember the price.

Many times the price on the shelf is lower than the register price! ALWAYS
higher, NEVER lower! I make them check the price and give me the lower
price.

Might try taking a notebook and writing down all the prices, then place the
items on the checkout in order of your list, see how many prices are
higher...

The problem with this whole exchange is your denying the obvious, that
retail prices will fall when expense of the income tax is removed from
American business. It is a law of business that competition sets the
price - you may want to keep the old price and pocket that 22%, but
you'll have a competitor that will pass along the savings, so you'll
either have to lower your price in order to sell your widget, or
you'll go out of business. That's just the way it works. If you keep
clinging to your view, then we have nothing to talk about. You're
just wrong on this one.
