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. The will cook more evenly if
turned over halfway through cooking.

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.
