Microwave Cooking for One by Marie T Smith
Microwaving Tips
Special Tips
-
Know the wattage of your oven. Most published recipes are for 700-watt ovens, so if yours is less or more than 700 watts, learn how to increase or decrease cooking times. We provide handy Conversion Charts at this site.
-
When you try a new recipe, jot down the results right on the recipe so that next time you will know the changes or adjustments you need to make. Cook frozen foods while still frozen unless a recipe gives directions for defrosting.
-
Use only white paper towels and use them carefully. Don't put one in an empty hot browning dish or place the hot dish on one.
-
Remove plastic wrap carefully from hot food. Lift up the farthest edge and pull it toward you so the steam will be released away from you.
-
Use metal measuring cups for both liquid and dry measurements. The glass measuring cups normally used for liquid measurement allow too much variation in amounts, producing variations in result.
-
Learn to use browning utensils properly. Leave the heated utensil in the oven between steps: it is safer, and heat is not lost by carrying the utensil back and forth.

It is a very good cookbook and I have yet to find a recipe that didn't turn out as it was supposed to.—Norm Peterson, Arizona |
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.
