COOKING EGGS
You can use your microwave oven to cook eggs. Cook
them until they are just set as they become tough if they
are overcooked.
WARNING
Never cook eggs in their shells and never warm
up hard-boiled eggs in their shells. Eggs cooked
or warmed up in their shells can explode. Always
pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.
COOKING VEGETABLES
Vegetables should be washed prior to cooking. Usually,
no extra water is needed. When cooking dense
vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and green beans,
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 halfway through the cooking process.
Always place vegetables such as asparagus and broccoli
with the stems 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 skins pierced in several
spots before cooking to prevent them from bursting.
For a more even cooking result, stir or rearrange whole
vegetables halfway through the cook time.
Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing

COOKING POULTRY
