How to Adapt Conventional Recipes for Microwaving.
Before converting a conventional recipe for microwaving,
study it in terms of microwaving. Is it one of the many
foods which microwave well? Look for cooking
techniques which are similar to microwaving techniques,
such as covering, steaming or cooking in sauce or liquid.
If the food requires a crisp, fried crust or very dry
surface, you may prefer to cook it conventionally. Some
recipes may not be exactly the same when microwaved,
others will not need changing. (Moist, rich cakes,
candies and meat loaves are examples. )
Since liquids do not evaporate when microwaved,
reduce the amount in saucy casseroles. Add more
thickening to sauces and gravies. Reduce some
seasonings also; they will not lose intensity in short
microwaving times. Salt meats and vegetables
after
cooking. If an ingredient takes longer to microwave than
others in the same dish, precook that ingredient before
adding to the others.
