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.
• 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 before cooking is completed, while
a dish of peas can be served immediately.

This programme is suitable for all kinds of yeast cake, biscuit, cheese
cake and puff pastry. It is not suitable for short/crust pastry, fruit and
cream cakes as well as for cake with chocolate topping.
Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections may still
be icy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals have
thawed. Shielding roasts and steaks with small pieces of foil prevents the edges
from cooking before the center of the food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat, smooth
strips of aluminum foil to cover the edges and thinner sections of the food.
