COOKING GUIDE EGGS AND CHEESE Eggs and cheese are delicate foods requiring care in microwave cooking. Piercing the yolks of eggs helps to release steam during cooking. Stirring egg mixtures frequently helps distribute the heat evenly. Because the microwave energy cooks so quickly, always check to see if the eggs are done to your satisfaction after the standing time.

VEGETABLES Vegetables are favorite foods when cooked in the microwave. Because they cook for a shorter time and require less water than conventional cooking, vegetables cooked by microwave energy retain more vitamins than when cooked by other methods. To cook better in the microwave, vegetables should be cut into evenly sized pieces.
