Thanks for the great tip - I'll use it when making coconut to put on my Thai Butternut squash soup. Blanching nuts is another great chore for the microwave - put them in a pie pan, barely cover with water, cover tightly, and cook on high for 2 minutes - let the nuts cool and those skins come right off. Great when you need some blanched almonds for a veg dish. Thanks for the great blog - love to read it!
