   That's my problem. With my tiny kitchen and lack of counter space I have   
   to store the toaster-oven on a rack in the dining room and set it up when   
   it is to be used. P.I.T.A.

   There was a lot of "backing and forthinig" back in the early days of the   
   echo (mid 1980s) and both Meal Master and Master Cook had their "champions".   
   I bought a copy of Master Cook and registered my download of Meal master   
   so I was covere3d either road.    
      
   I have noticed that recipe source has a lot of MC formatted recipes.  Some   
   of tohse were originally issued as Meal master - to each his own,said the   
   old woman as she kissed the cow.  Bv)=   
      
   Heck Ieven registered a copy of Accu Chef (windoze ready - not DOS).   
      
   Here's a Randy with mmore than 3 servings

         Title: Elephant Stew   
    Categories: Five, Meat   
         Yield: 3800 Servings   
       
         1    Elephant   
              Salt & pepper   
         2    Rabbits   
       
     Cut elephant into small bite size pieces, this should   
     take about 2 months.   
        
     Add enough brown gravy to cover, about half a train   
     tank car.   
        
     Cook over kerosene heat for about 4 weeks at 450ºF/234ºC.   
        
     This recipe should serve 3,800 people.   
        
     If more are expected, add 2 extra rabbits, do so only   
     if necessary as most people do not like hare in their   
     stew.
