    Bought and just tried the microwave grill based on this review. Works great! Yeah, it's not inexpensive. The silly fire people will not allow a regular burner or stove in the building I work in, but we do have microwaves. The closest place to buy lunch is a 10-12 min drive. Now I have an option to have a hot sandwich at work, and that saves me 30 minutes each time compared to going out. So it's worth it for me, no question. Thanks guys!!

Very annoying, yes, but you can cook rice/pasta in there, and veg, and meat (i mainly use IKEA meatballs, hotdog sausages and mincemeat), put it all together and you got yourself a pretty good meal. Potatoes work too. And it doesn't taste bad at all and I wouldnt say theyre very unhealthy, about similar to what I usually ate at home. Just no herbs or salt cause I can't be bothered

    Oh! I know this!
    The Norlan glass focuses the alcohol vapors into a more condensed opening, allowing you to smell more of the whiskey notes which in turn changes how it tastes.
    Also, icing whiskey mutes the flavor dramatically. So if the Norlan glass wasn't iced, they're naturally going to taste more of the whiskey.

    Here's the science of the glasses straight from their website if anyone is as curious as I was:
    "Through specially developed protrusion forms inside the glass - adapted through studying bio-mimicry - when swirled around the glass the fluid forms a standing wave shape, which increases the surface to air ratio and rate of oxidization. The effect here is that considerably more ethanol evaporates. This resulting increase in volatility allows the whisky to become significantly more expressive. This feature is an invention of the Norlan glass - no other whisky glass will do this for you."

Having a reasonably sized chamber and a taper to the top let’s the aroma collect and then get directed towards the nose as the glass is tipped over.
