Just take a look at that...Cooked in out, moist and fluffy! I used a big mug so one mug was enough for one person
I did some by steaming on stove top. I kid you not we had finished dinner and it must have started digesting before the stove top one was done!

Hello K, thank you for this innovative piece. I ran out of gas this evening and the my backup plan - kerosene stove had limited oil. I steamed the first badge on the stove top and the remainder, I looked up how to make moi moi with microwave and voilla! Your post came up. I followed your detailed instructions and true to your words, 'I kid you not', fantastic result. Very fluffy and the stove top badge is still cooking with over 30 minutes more to go.
A very well done K. More grace..
Wat???? Microwave moi-moi?? U're are joking. Am doing this right now. Thanks. you are so creative.
Great idea.. will definitely have to invest 8n some big mugs and try this. .i get tired of making foil packs2
Thank you.It saves time, energy plus one can use mug over and over again rather than foil and others you dispose after a use
Thanks for sharing this is going to come in handy the next time I make moin moin. Quick one, how many mins do you keep it in for the defrost setting? Is that different from the 5 mins you mentioned?
God bless!
Hello Titi, weight defrost on 20.00 for 3 minutes and then high for 2 minutes. Will update the post to make clearer. Thanks
Thanks, I tried this last night and it came out great.
