microwave cooking
The Microwave Oven, that metal box on the kitchen unit, will do far more for you than bake potatoes, reheat meals and defrost foods. The basic Microwave Oven will quickly produce nutritious, healthy snacks or meals, cakes, preserves even beauty products, natural decorations and gifts all at the touch of a button with less waste, less washing up and of course less running costs.
The following recipes and ideas are based on an 800w output oven and cooked on high unless stated otherwise.
To achieve the best results remember to:
 |
Always use china, Pyrex and Microwave plastic never anything metallic.
|
 |
Always cover with film when applicable having pierced it a couple of times or fold back the edge, to speed up cooking times.
|
 |
When cooking and reheating the Microwave is even more efficient if the food is raised on a plastic grid or an upturned plate.
|
 |
In general the middle of the oven is the coolest spot, the edge of the carousel being hotter.
|
 |
The food will carry on cooking a little after it is taken from the oven i.e. standing time.
|
 |
With a little help from an adult you will find how quickly you can be a Micro-chef producing delicious foods and super gifts.
