The microwave brought simplicity and speed to the kitchen. With it, it is easier to heat up dishes, and it will take only a few minutes to stew meat or vegetable stew. Cooking in the microwave, although not difficult, will require certain knowledge and tricks from the hostess. You will find them in our material.

What can a microwave oven do?

Most of us use the microwave to reheat dinners right on our plates or to make hot sandwiches. In the meantime, a good microwave can replace several kitchen appliances at once:

• convection oven
• grill
• oven
• even a double boiler

It can act like a conventional oven, or it can use its microwave-related functionality, and be paired with other functions.

Interesting ways to use the microwave

It can sterilize jars. And also disinfect kitchen sponges and cutting boards. Sponges should be soaked in water with lemon juice, and the boards should be rubbed with a slice of this citrus. In addition, you can dry mushrooms and crackers in the microwave, melt the dough, heat spices, nuts, so that it is easier to peel them.

What you need to know to cook in the microwave?

• Microwaves - penetrate food from different sides, but to a depth of no more than 2 cm. Therefore, for a microwave, it is better to cut pieces that are not too large.
• If you are frying/baking in the microwave mode, then put the largest pieces on the edge of the dish so that they get more microwaves and they are better baked.
• When preparing soup, it is advisable to cover it with a lid, but always with a steam outlet. If you put a glass tube in a liquid, it will boil less.
• More energy is received by those parts that are located at the edges of the plate, and less microwaves get to the middle. Therefore, cooking food must be mixed, if you bake legs or wings, or any other similar pieces, they need to be swapped and turned over.
• It is better to salt meat and fish at the very end of cooking, so they will retain their juiciness.
• When preparing scrambled eggs, you need to take only very fresh eggs and prick the yolks with a toothpick. Then they won't spread.
• The dough in the microwave is understood higher than in a conventional oven. Therefore, the form will be needed with high sides, and it only needs to be filled halfway.
• To prevent the pastry from burning, you need to add more flour to the dough.
• So that the dishes do not dry out when heated, they must be covered with a film or a special lid with a dome.

What is the danger of the microwave?

The most popular stereotype about microwave ovens - they are a source of radiation - is fundamentally untrue, ”the head of the laboratory of radiobiology and hygiene of non-ionizing radiation of the FMBTS them. Burnazyan FMBA of Russia, candidate of biological sciences Oleg Grigoriev.

What utensils to use for the microwave?

Microwave utensils must be transparent to microwaves, do not contain metals, do not conduct electric current, and be heat-resistant.

Any dishes can be pre-tested for use in the microwave. To do this, you need to take an ordinary faceted glass (or any thick-walled glass made of glass, but without a picture), pour water into it, put it in the dish to be tested, and the dish in the microwave. Turn on at maximum power for 1 minute. When you open the stove, the water in the glass should be hot, and the dishes in which the glass was standing should not heat up. If it gets hot, then it is not suitable for use in the microwave.

How to cook meat in the microwave?

When cooking meat in the microwave, be sure to cover it with a lid to keep it juicy and protect it from drying out.

Microwave ovens are convenient because they cook food much faster than other devices, and also have the function of defrosting food. However, cooking delicious and nutritious meals in the microwave is not as easy as it sounds, and in order to get the most out of your food, you need to follow some rules. Most importantly, do not forget to maintain the humidity of the products at the proper level and observe the exact cooking time.

Steps

Cooking Most Foods in the Microwave

Divide foods by cooking time. Some foods take longer to cook than others. More specifically, larger and thicker foods take longer to cook than those that are thinner and smaller. To prevent large meals from being undercooked and small meals from being overcooked, sort the ingredients and cook them separately.

• Starchy vegetables (such as potatoes or sweet potatoes) tend to take the longest to cook, followed by meat. But it takes very little time to cook small vegetables.

1. Cut larger foods to speed up the cooking time. You can reduce the time it takes to cook food in the microwave by cutting the ingredients into small pieces. For example, large pieces of meat will cook faster if they are cut into strips or small pieces first.

   • Foods to cut before cooking include potatoes (unless you're baking them), other large vegetables, and large cuts of meat.

2. Poke holes in skinned products. Foods with skins can hold steam, and if the steam has nowhere to go, the food can burst and splatter in all directions. To avoid this, take a fork or sharp knife and poke a few holes in the skinned foods, including:

   • sausages,
   • potato,
   • sweet potato,
   • sausages for hot dogs.

3. Arrange food correctly in a microwave safe bowl. Find a bowl or plate that can be used in the microwave. Arrange the food in a single layer so that the thickest parts of the food are away from the center of the bowl. This guarantees accurate cooking times, since what lies closer to the outer edges will cook faster than what is closer to the middle.

   Cover food before cooking. If the special bowl has a lid, cover the dish with it and leave a small gap so the steam can escape. If you don't have a lid, cover the bowl with a damp towel or paper towel. Covering food in the microwave is important for a number of reasons, including that it:

   Cook food in short bursts and stir constantly. Close the microwave oven door. To turn on the microwave, you will need to select the cooking time, set the timer, and then press the "Start" button. Cook small vegetables in 1-minute intervals, larger vegetables in 2-minute intervals, and meat in 3-minute intervals. Stir the contents of the dish between each session to distribute the heat.

   Leave food to rest before serving. Once the food is ready, close the microwave oven door and leave the dish in there to “rest”. During this time, the food will fully reach readiness. Vegetables and casseroles should sit for 5 to 10 minutes, while meats will need 10 to 15 minutes.

Cooking certain foods

Cook meat on medium power. You can cook meat in the microwave, but this takes some getting used to. Take meat at room temperature. Dry it gently to remove excess moisture. Season with a little salt and pepper if desired. Place the meat in a microwave-safe dish and cook on medium power for 5-7 minutes. Turn the meat once during cooking.
