3.5.3 Cooking eggs in your microwave

• Never cook eggs in the shell and never warm hardcooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
• Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.
• Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if overcooked.

3.5.4 Cooking vegetables in your microwave

• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables
such as potatoes, carrots and greens 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, 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.

3.5.5 Cooking seafood in your microwave

Place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish until
it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel
provides less steaming. And be sure not to overcook fish; check it for doneness at a minimum cooking
time before cooking longer.
