COOKING EGGS
You can use your microwave oven to cook eggs. Cook them until they are just set as they become tough if they are overcooked.
Never cook eggs in their shells and never warm WARNING up
pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.
COOKING VEGETABLES
Vegetables should be washed prior to cooking. Usually, no extra water is needed. When cooking dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and green beans, add about ¼ cup water.
Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones.
Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over halfway through the cooking process.
Always place vegetables such as asparagus and broccoli with the stems pointing towards the edge of the dish and
