__________________________________________________
When making white sauces, instead of whisking away over a saucepan, use the microwave. Follow the recipe for amounts required but melt the butter in the microwave and add the thickening agent, then the liquid, and heat for short periods of time in the microwave (1-2 minutes), whisking well in between. With experience you will find out the time best for your machine, and clean-up is easier. If you get too busy the stuff in the microwave waits patiently until you are free. I will never be a slave to a sauce again.
Well, that was fun! I'll definitely try the fudge tomorrow night! :o)
