Cheese and Eggs

1.Eggs may be prepmed many ways in the microwave oven. Always pierce whole yolks before microwaving to prevent bursting.

2.Never cook eggs in the shell. Do not reheat hard cooked eggs in the shell. They will explode.

3.Cook eggs just until set. They are delicate and will toughen if overcooked.

Fish and Seafood

1.Fish is done when it flakes easily when tested with a fork. Center may still be slightly translucent, but will continue cooking as fish stands a few minutes after cooking.

2.Cook fish with or without sauce. A tight cover steams fish. Use a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel for less steaming.

3.Do not overcook fish. Check at minimum time.
