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.
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.
