Microwave Cooking for One

It's fast! Generally, cooking food takes one-fourth the time in the microwave than it takes in your conventional oven.
It's cool! Cooking heat is created within the food, so your kitchen does not become overheated.
It's tastier! Natural flavors are retained in the food.
It's nutritional! Reduced cooking time means more vitamins and minerals are retained.
It's economical! You only cook the amount of food you need. Your microwave uses less electrical wattage than with your conventional oven, and you're cooking for a shorter amount of time.
It's convenient! You can cook right in the serving dish, on paper plates and in paper towels. There is less mess to clean up after you're done.
Anyone who has tried to reduce a recipe to a small amount knows that it is not an easy task, but to double or triple a recipe is a fairly simple feat. The tough reducing part has been done for you already in Microwave Cooking for One; the easy job of increasing these recipes to two or three or four servings is up to you.

A good place to start is in the Microwave Tips section to get an overview about microwave cooking. Be sure to become a Facebook Fan of Microwave Cooking for One by Marie T Smith. Then, visit the Contents & Recipes section and try one recipe from each chapter of Microwave Cooking for One.
Many people become frustrated when attempting to cook in the microwave because they do not realize that most recipes for microwave ovens are written for the 700-watt oven (the industry standard). However, you have a different wattage microwave oven. What do you do? Check out our easy-to-use Conversion Charts to convert the microwave time you need to use to cook your food. Don't know what wattage oven you have? Check out What Wattage is My Oven? for instructions on how to determine your microwave oven's wattage.

Please note: There are several thousand external links throughout the pages of this site. To make navigating simpler for you, we have set up the links so that when you click on the first one, a new browser window will open. When you click on another link, the link will appear in the same window replacing the information of the first link (except eBay auctions, which open a new window with each item clicked on). This way, as you navigate through this site, you will not have to constantly keep closing browser windows. All links to other pages within this site will open in the current window. If a window does not open when you click on a link, check to see if you are running a pop-up blocker, which you may need to turn off in order for the new browser windows to open. Except when you order Microwave Cooking for One by mail, we do not actually sell items directly from this site. Instead, we have done all the work to find the microwave information you are looking for on the Internet, and consolidated it here at this site. When you click on a link for a product, you will be taken to the site that actually offers the product for sale. In some instances, we earn a small commission from the site you visit. This is how we are compensated for the work we have done to bring the information to you. Thank you for supporting this site by making your purchases via the links you click here.
