Cooking eggs in your microwave
Never cook eggs in the shell and never warm hard-
▯
cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
Always pierce yolk on whole eggs to keep them from
▯
bursting.
Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if
▯
overcooked.
Cooking scrambled eggs is safe.
▯
Cooking vegetables in your microwave
Vegetables should be washed just before cooking.
▯
Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such
as potatoes or carrots are being cooked, add about
¼ cup of water.
Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans,
▯
etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables.
Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or
▯
corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the
turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if
turned over halfway through cooking.

dish and the tips toward the center.
When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish

with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.
Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, sweet
▯
potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their
skin pricked in several locations before cooking to
prevent them from bursting.

▯
vegetables halfway through the cook time.
Most of the time, the denser the food, the longer the
▯
required standing time. For example, a baked potato
should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish
of peas may be served immediately.
