How to Adapt Conventional Recipes for Microwaving.

Before converting a conventional recipe for microwaving, study it in terms of microwaving. Is it one of the many foods which microwave well? Look for cooking techniques which are similar to microwaving techniques, such as covering, steaming or cooking in sauce or liquid. If the food requires a crisp, fried crust or very dry surface, you may prefer to cook it conventionally. Some recipes may not be exactly the same when microwaved, others will not need changing. (Moist, rich cakes, candies and meat loaves are examples. )

Since liquids do not evaporate when microwaved, reduce the amount in saucy casseroles. Add more thickening to sauces and gravies. Reduce some seasonings also; they will not lose intensity in short microwaving times. Salt meats and vegetables after cooking. If an ingredient takes longer to microwave than others in the same dish, precook that ingredient before adding to the others.
