● Containers: Microwave ovens can use high-temperature resistant containers such as plastic, glass and ceramics, but they cannot use metal or metal containers.
● Thawing: If you cook frozen food, thaw it first. Pay attention to the use of low-power gear when thawing, so as to thaw evenly. Generally, do not overheat until it is completely thawed, which may partially cook the food. Moreover, there should not be too much food thawed at a time, and the thawed food pieces should not be too thick. The thickness of meat food shall not exceed 3 cm, and the thickness of other foods shall not exceed 5 to 7 cm. Otherwise, uneven thawing may be caused.
● Nutrition: When cooking in a microwave oven, try to add as little water as possible to the dish. The purpose of adding water is to prevent the vegetables from burning. One or two spoonfuls of water is usually enough. The standard of adding proper amount of water is that no water is left after the dish is cooked. In addition, when cooking or heating food, cover it. This requires short time and less nutritional loss.
So in order to shorten the cooking time as much as possible, try to buy a high-power microwave oven if possible. ● Dehydration: In the peak season of fruits and vegetables, you can use the microwave oven to keep some of your favorite fruits and vegetables fresh, such as cowpea, eggplant, Shelley, radish slices, pineapple slices, apple slices, mushrooms and so on. Methods: Wash the fruits and vegetables, slice the big roots after controlling the water, put them in the microwave oven, heat them with low power (1-3 minutes) until the vegetables lose some water and wilt a little, take them out to cool, then seal them with fresh-keeping bags, which can be stored in the refrigerator for a long time, or simply put them on the balcony for a few days, and soon become real dried vegetables.
● Seasoning: Salt has a special effect on microwave. Use as little as possible when cooking, especially meat, because salt will roughen the meat. If the taste is weak, it's best to make it up after cooking.
