For the next several days, I will be writing about how to get the most out of your microwave. I’ll be including information and recipes that have a “Tupperware” flavor – no surprise there*Ü*! But rest assured, that you could use your own microwaveable cookware, glass, crockery or high-quality plastic. Cheap stuff won’t work…we’re really cooking here!
My microwave oven is one of my favorite kitchen tools! I use it nearly every day. I do admit to using it to heat water for a cup of tea and for reheating leftovers, but I also cook in it!
Any steamed vegetable dish I serve comes from the microwave. I cook meats, poultry, fish, eggs & even bake in it. That’s not saying that I don’t use the stovetop, regular oven or grill. But usually, some part of every meal comes from the “Nuker”! I hope this series will inspire more of you to do the same!
Here are some interesting tidbits about your microwave oven:
