Cooking Instructions
Guide for Cooking Seafood in Your Microwave
• Cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork.
• Place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe
dish.
• Use a tight cover to steam fish. A lighter cover of wax paper or paper
towel provides less steaming.
• Do not overcook fish; check it at minimum cooking time.
Guide for 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 whole eggs to keep them from bursting.
• Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.
Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave
• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra
water is needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and
green beans are being cooked, add about ¼ cup water.
• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook
faster than larger ones.
• 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 after half the cooking time.
• 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 spots before cooking to
prevent them from bursting.
• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway
through the cooking time.
• Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time.
(Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense, large foods
and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A
baked potato can stand on the counter for five minutes before
cooking is completed, while a dish of peas can be served
immediately.
