COOKING EGGS
You can use your microwave oven to cook eggs. Cook
them until they are just set as they become tough if they
are overcooked.
z_ Never cook eggs in their shells and never warm
....... up hard-boiled eggs in their shells. Eggs cooked
or warmed up in their shells can explode. Always
pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.
COOKING VEGETABLES
Vegetables should be washed prior to cooking. Usually,
no extra water is needed. When cooking dense
vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and green beans,
add about 1_ 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 halfway through the cooking process.
Always place vegetables such as asparagus and broccoli
with the stems pointing towards the edge of the dish and
