Each electrical appliance has its own nuances and rules of use. Today we will talk about the microwave.

How to cook in the microwave correctly, what rules for cooking in the microwave every housewife should know, what you need to know about cooking in the microwave.

And so, before you cook in the microwave, you should read the instructions for using this household appliance.

When you cook food in the microwave, very often you may encounter the fact that not all food cooks well in the microwave, that it is quite difficult to follow the process, and sometimes it turns out not at all what was intended, because the dish can simply burn.

Therefore, before cooking in the microwave, find out its power, and study which dish is cooked at what power.

You can find out the power of the microwave very simply. Usually this information is written on a microwave oven. You can also find such data in the instructions for household appliances.

The power of a microwave oven can have an indicator from 600 to 1,500 watts (W, W).

The power of the microwave can be checked in another way. To do this, you will need water, which you must heat in the microwave.

With an oven power of 1,200 W, you can heat a glass of water (200 ml) in 1.5 minutes. If the power of the microwave oven is 1000 W, you will need 2 minutes, respectively: 800 W - 2.5 minutes, a microwave with a power of 700 W - 3 minutes, and 4 minutes water will be heated in the microwave - 600 W.

Knowing how many minutes it takes to heat water in the microwave, you can adjust to your electrical appliance and cook delicious food.

You can also reduce the microwave power. Usually this can be done in the settings of household appliances.

If the recipe calls for high microwave power, and your oven does not have these characteristics, you need to increase the cooking time.

Add about 10 seconds extra to your microwave cooking time for every 100W. For example, if a 1200W microwave cooks a dish in 2 minutes, then for a 1000W microwave you need to add another 20 seconds.

Microwaves differ not only in power. They can be distinguished by type. So microwave ovens or solo ovens- These are ordinary microwave ovens for heating food, in which high-voltage devices - magnetrons are installed.

It is they who produce high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. The functions of such a microwave are not many, but they are perfect for everyday heating of food.

Another type of microwave convection microwave. This type of microwave will allow you to cook a wide variety of dishes, because it has a fan, with which the food is subjected to additional heat treatment.

The next type of microwave oven is inverter microwave ovens. In such a microwave oven, food is cooked more evenly by setting low power values for the entire cooking period of the dish.

Before you cook in the microwave, make sure that the power supply is stable, because if you turn on any other appliances at the same time as the microwave, you risk your dish.

Before cooking in the microwave, make sure what to cook in the microwave.

Buy heat-resistant microwave-safe utensils that won't conduct electricity and won't contain any metal.

A microwave with a variety of functions can serve as a double boiler, oven, convection oven.

Interestingly, the microwave can be used to sterilize jars and disinfect kitchen sponges and cutting boards by treating them with lemon juice. The microwave can also be used as a dryer.

If you decide to cook the dish in the microwave, cut the food into small pieces. When using a lid in the microwave, make sure it has a steam outlet.

Remember that it is always heated first of all what is around the edges. Fewer microwaves reach food in the middle of the plate.

To keep microwaved fish and meat juicy, add salt at the end of cooking. To prepare the dough, use a tall form, but fill it only halfway, because the dough can rise very high.

To make dishes in the microwave juicy, cover them with a film or the already mentioned lid with a hole.

Today, such a kitchen unit as a microwave oven is available in everyday life in almost every family. But what can be cooked in the microwave - only a few know. Most of the owners of this kitchen appliance only use it to heat up food or quickly prepare hot sandwiches. However, a microwave oven can replace several kitchen appliances at the same time, such as an oven, a double boiler, a convection oven, a grill. The microwave oven can be used as a conventional oven or for its intended purpose using microwaves in combination with other features of the device. In our article, we will offer interesting recipes for the microwave, using which you can cook breakfast, lunch or dinner in a short time.

Important aspects of microwave cooking

Before proceeding directly to cooking, it is necessary to take into account some nuances so as not to spoil the food and the cooked dish is tasty and appetizing:

The microwaves that the microwave uses penetrate food from different sides no deeper than 2 cm. Based on this, cutting food should be done in small pieces or slices, and be sure to mix occasionally.

Important! If you decide to bake wings or other parts of a bird, they need to be swapped and turned over during the cooking process.

If you decide to bake or fry food in the microwave mode, then put the large ingredients of your dish on the edge of the plate, in this case the microwaves will bake the product better.
In the process of preparing soup, cover the container with a lid, while a prerequisite is the presence of a hole for steam removal.

Important! To reduce the boiling process, it is enough to put a glass tube on the bottom of the container.

So that meat and fish do not lose their juiciness, salt the food at the very end of cooking.
To cook breakfast in the microwave from eggs, the yolks are first pierced with a toothpick, after such a procedure they will not spread.
When preparing dough for baking in the microwave, it is necessary to use a form with high sides and fill it only halfway, since the dough rises higher when exposed to microwave waves than in the oven.

Important! To prevent the cake or dough buns from burning, add more flour when kneading.

To prevent the top of the cooked food from drying out, cover the plate with cling film or use a special dome lid.

What dishes to use for the microwave?

Another important point that you need to consider before you cook a cupcake in the microwave or any other dish is the choice of suitable dishes:

Plates and other cooking containers should be completely transparent to allow better passage of microwaves.
The composition of kitchen utensils should not contain metals, the dishes should be heat-resistant and not conduct electricity.

Plates should be tested for compatibility before use in the microwave.

Dish test:

Take an ordinary faceted glass cup, fill it with water and place it in the dish you plan to use in the microwave.
Next, turn on the maximum power on the device and set the timer for 1 minute.
After the time has passed, the water in the glass should become hot, and the dishes in which the glass was located, on the contrary, remain cold.
If the container also heats up, it means that it is not suitable for use in a microwave oven.
