•

Cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork.

•

Place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. 

•

Use a tight cover to steam fish. A lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming.

•

To avoid overcooking fish, check it at minimum cooking time.

•

Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-boiled eggs in the shell; they can explode.

•

Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.

•

Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.

•  Vegetables should be washed just before cooking.  

Often, no extra water is needed. If dense 
vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and green 
beans are being cooked,  add about 1/4 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 at half 
the cooking time.

•  Always place vegetables like asparagus and 

broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the 
edge of the dish with the heads toward the center.

•  When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the 

dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic 
wrap.   

•  Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, 

squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin 
pricked in several spots before cooking to prevent 
them from bursting.

•  For more even cooking, rearrange whole 

vegetables halfway through the cooking time.

•  Generally, the denser the food, the longer the 

standing time.  (Standing time refers to the time 
necessary for dense, large foods and vegetables 
to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.)  
A baked potato can stand on the counter for five 
minutes before cooking is completed, while a dish 
of peas can be served immediately.
