A dark or dull baking pie pan will result in a browner, crisper crust. Ideal for ready-made mixes. Prepare according to package directions. Use dark or dull metal pan. Stir once. Best for individual shortcakes. Use dark coated pan. 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 yolk on whole eggs to keep them from bursting. ▯ Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if overcooked. ▯ Cooking scrambled eggs is safe. Cooking vegetables in your microwave ▯ Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes or carrots are being cooked, add about ¼ cup of water. ▯ Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables. ▯ 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 cooking. ▯ 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, sweet potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several locations before cooking to prevent them from bursting. ▯ For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cook time. ▯ Most of the time, the denser the food, the longer the required standing time. For example, a baked potato should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish of peas may be served immediately. Cooking seafood in your microwave Place fish in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming. And be sure not to overcook fish; check it for doneness at a minimum cooking time before cooking longer.
