8 Steps to Using Your Microwave Efficiently

The first microwave for use in the home initially was introduced in 1955, exactly 70 in the tool - the radioactive revolution did not start until mid. Almost 40 years later, nearly 90% of Americans own a microwave oven, but only a small fraction of the population knows how to use it.

1. Microwaves do not penetrate through the metal

It is common sense, and if you ever blue electrical bolts to attack your baked potatoes wrapped in foil panicked at the site, you probably also believe that no metal can be placed in the microwave.

Older microwave oven, in particular, can be damaged by the use of metals, but the problem these days for the microwave friendly and can handle metal. This is the best manufacturer's warning to see if your microwave-proof foil (pun intended) is.

2. Layout

Food around the edges of the plate from the center will be searing heat. When you are reheating food, vegetables, try replacing the moister in the center, and surround them with drier meat.

If you are heating a casserole or deep dish, food item, a large depression in the center are allowed to make even more heated.

3. Time

All microwave ovens vary. Cook for 10 minutes to tell you a recipe, but if your microwave is more powerful, at that time to be cut back to the need to avoid overcooking. Unfortunately, in order to figure out how strong your microwave, you have to endure a few unsuccessful attempts.

4. Turning

Large items, you are defrosting or cooking, to be turned often need to encourage heating. Stop at regular intervals over microwave oven food item so that flip-rays can penetrate all surfaces equally.

5. Drying out

If you thinly sliced ​​roast beef in the microwave to heat their share of the place, you pretty much guarantee that it can dry out.

Sauce or gravy or meat with a thin layer of cover - this cover with aluminum foil - it allows your microwave.

6. Water content

Microwave moisture better than they responded to a dry food. When you moister foods like canned or frozen vegetables, heat, it takes less time to warm up completely. Set the oven for a few minutes at a time, and stop and stir often.

7. Browning meat

Unless your microwave browning elements of the particular model comes with your pork chops will not get brown and crusty. Most microwave cooked meat actually turn out floppy and often dry.

On the stove - if a recipe calls for browning, stick to the old fashioned method.

8. Defrost

defrost mode is a low power setting, the frozen foods more evenly thaws, thereby preventing all-too-common problem is half-baked chicken.



A microwave oven may be convenient, there's just good, old-fashioned braised and roasted foods is not an option. Cooking on the stove to take the time well worth the time you put in.
