Heating food
Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated.
This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without the
usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the container
only moves a little, the hot liquid can suddenly boil over and
spatter. When heating liquids, always place a spoon in the
container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
Convection
Preheat the oven before adding foods. Once the oven is
preheated, place the food in the oven quickly to minimize
loss of heat. Place pans of food on the wire rack with the
recess facing down.

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. They 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.
