Eggs
• Always pierce whole yolks before microwaving to prevent bursting.
• Never cook eggs in the shell, and do not reheat in-shell cooked eggs. They could explode.
• Cook eggs just until set, they are delicate and can toughen if overcooked.

(Eggs will finish cooking during standing.) Chill
before chopping.
Pasta and Rice
• Always use microwave-safe ceramic, glass or plastic utensils.
• For pasta use about half the amount of hot tap water required for conventional boiling, there is less
evaporation in a microwave oven. Add recommended amount of salt, if desired and vegetable oil
(optional, to prevent sticking).
• For rice use same or slightly more water as with conventional boiling. Add recommended amount of salt,
if desired.
