Ideas for Cooking in Your Microwave

This article contains tips on cooking in your microwave. I have found that most people have a microwave but very few people use it to its fullest potential. The ideas in this article use Tupperware’s Oval Cooker. However, I am sure you can adapt them in any microwave safe cookware.

Corn on the Cob

Remove husks from the corn and place the corn in the oval cooker with the collar and cover. Cook on high in microwave for two minutes per ear. If using Tupperware’s Oval Cooker you will not need to add any water. Let stand 20% of cooking time to finish cooking. For example, five ears of corn need to cook for ten minutes and stand for two minutes.

All fresh Vegetables

There is no need to add any water to fresh vegetables. Just place in microwave cooker and cook on high for 6 minutes per pound. Cauliflower is really good this way: During the standing time sprinkle shredded cheese on cauliflower and cover and the cheese will melt around the cauliflower. NO need to make a cheese sauce.

All your vegetables will be superior when cooked 6 min. per pound.

Rotisserie Chicken

Clean and wash chicken. Place in microwave cooker with collar and sprinkle with seasoning. Cook for 7.5 minutes per pound on high in the microwave. Let stand 20% additional cooking time. For example, if you have a 4 pound chicken cook it for thirty minutes and let it stand for six minutes.

Ground Beef or Turkey

Put in base of oval microwave cooker with rack. Cook for 5 min. per pound. Crumble with spatula a couple of times.
