Guide for 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 whole eggs to keep them from bursting .
• Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked .
Guide for cooking vegetables in your microwave
• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking . Often, no extra water is needed . If dense vegetables
such as potatoes, carrots and green beans are being cooked, add about ¼ cup water .
• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc .) will cook faster than larger ones .
• 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 after half the cooking time has
passed .
• Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the
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, squash, eggplant, etc ., should have their skin pricked in
several spots before cooking to prevent them from bursting .
• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cooking time .
• Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time . (Standing time refers to the time necessary for
dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven .) A baked potato can
stand on the counter for five minutes, while a dish of peas can be served immediately .
