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.
Heating Liquid
Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated.
This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without the
usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the container
only moves a little, the hot liquid can suddenly boil over and
spatter. When heating liquids, always place a nonmetallic spoon
in the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.

Cooking Tip / Procedure
A dark or dull baking sheet will result in a browner,
crisper crust.
For a tender, light golden brown crust, use light, shiny
metal bakeware.
A dark or dull baking sheet will result in a browner,
crisper crust.
Use a square baking pan.
Ideal for ready-made mixes. Prepare according to
package directions.
Use with fresh or frozen dinner rolls.
A dark or dull baking pie pan will result in a browner,
crisper crust.
Ideal for ready-made mixes. Prepare according
to package directions.
Use dark or dull metal pan. Stir once.
Best for individual shortcakes. Use dark coated pan.
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, sweet
•
potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their
skin pricked in several locations before cooking to
prevent them from bursting.
For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole
•
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.
