Cooking Vegetables In Your Microwave; Convenient Features; Cooking Seafood In Your Microwave - IKEA LAGAN Manual De Instrucciones

Cooking eggs in your microwave
• Never cook eggs in the shell and never warm
hardcooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
• Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from
bursting.
• Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough
if overcooked.
Cooking vegetables in your
microwave
• Vegetables should be washed just before
cooking.
Rarely is extra water needed. If dense
vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and greens
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. The
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,
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 on a microwave-safe roasting rack 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.
