Microwave Cooking for One by Marie T Smith
Shopping for Microwave Utensils and Other Kitchen Essentials
Serves One or Two
One of the challenges of cooking for one or two is finding utensils to accommodate the small portions of food being prepared. While many microwave recipes simply require a paper plate or paper towel, as you read in the Equipment section, size and shape do matter when preparing many other recipes, especially when creating recipes in small quantities. We've searched the Internet for utensils suitable for cooking for one or two and consolidated our finds here.

Emile Henry Vert Green 8½ by 5½-Inch Lasagna Bakers — This set of petite bakers is perfect for making individual portions of lasagna, potatoes au gratin or roasted fennel. The dishes are made from local clay in Burgundy, France, using a pottery tradition that has been alive since 1850. The clay is an excellent material for retaining heat, so lasagna keeps its warmth in these dishes as you gather your guests to the table. These bakers go safely into the freezer, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and under the broiler, and are very easy to clean. Also available in Azure Blue, Cerise Red, Citron Yellow or White. |

Pyrex Cobalt Custard Cups — These 6-ounce glass custard cups are ideal for making and serving individual baked or frozen desserts like crème caramel or ice cream. They are also a handy size for pre-measured ingredients. The oven-safe glass transfers heat steadily and efficiently, so food cooks evenly in any oven. Pyrex glass will not absorb or leach flavors or odors, and it cleans up easily either by hand or in the dishwasher. Since 1915, Corning Pyrex cookware has been a vital part of every kitchen, and because it is safe in the oven, freezer, and microwave, it is even more versatile today than when it was first introduced. Each dessert dish measures 4 inches in diameter. Also available in 6-Ounce Clear or 10-Ounce Clear. |
