Question
What is wrong when baked
foods have a hard, dry brown
spot?
Why do eggs sometimes pop?
Why are scrambled eggs
sometimes a little dry after
cooking?
Is it possible to pop popcorn in
a Microwave Oven?
Answer
A hard, dry brown spot indicates
overcooking. Shorten the cooking or
reheating time.
When baking, frying or poaching eggs,
the yolk may pop due to steam build-up
inside the yolk membrane. To prevent
this, simply pierce the yolk with a
wooden toothpick before cooking.
CAUTION: Never Microwave eggs in
the shell.
• Eggs will dry out when they are
overcooked even if the same recipe
is used each time.
The cooking time may need to be
varied for one of these reasons:
• Eggs vary in size.
• Eggs are at room temperature one
time and at refrigerator temperature
another time.
• Eggs continue cooking during
standing time.
• Yes, if using one of the two methods
described below:
1. Microwave-popping devices
designed specifically for microwave
cooking.
2. Prepackaged commercial
microwave popcorn that is made
for specific times and power output
needed.
