I have baked sweet potatoes in the microwave before, and they never fried. I chose smaller sweet potatoes. Wash them first, but do not wipe them dry. Then wrap the sweet potatoes with wet paper towels, put them in the microwave, and use high heat. I bake them for 7 minutes first, then turn them over. Bake for another 3 minutes. When the time is up, use chopsticks to poke the sweet potato. If it can be poked through, it means it is cooked. If it is not cooked, you can turn it for a few more minutes.
It is winter now, the season for eating roasted sweet potatoes. If you don’t want to go out to buy sweet potatoes, you can buy some raw sweet potatoes and keep them at home. You can also roast them in the microwave. Let me share with you how to use them. How to bake sweet potatoes in the microwave.
Roast 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes in the microwave for 30 minutes over high heat. The aroma will be fragrant, but don’t be in a hurry to eat them at this time, they are very hot. I bought a small bag of sweet potatoes with my colleagues at the supermarket. It was a Saturday when my colleagues and I were on duty at the company. There were not many people working that day, so we started cooking delicious food. Because a colleague had baked it before and couldn't deep-fry it, we didn't think about it at that time and just baked it, and it didn't fry in the end.
Wash the sweet potatoes first, then put them on a plate. Turn the microwave on high for 30 minutes. At first, I thought they would be cooked after baking them for more than ten minutes, but when I took them out, I found that they were still hard inside. It seemed I overestimated the microwave, so I baked it for 30 minutes. The medium-sized sweet potatoes came out sweet and oily! That's a delicious treat!
Now that we have talked about using a microwave oven to roast sweet potatoes, let me tell you some precautions when using a microwave oven.
Precautions for using microwave ovens
①
When heating in a microwave oven, do not use plastic containers to hold food. When the microwave oven is turned on, the high temperature in the furnace can deform or even melt the plastic container. After being baked at high temperature, the plastic will release harmful substances, which is harmful to human health. Therefore, food cannot be placed in plastic containers and heated in the microwave.
② Do not use metal containers to hold food and heat it in the microwave. Because when a metal container is heated in a microwave oven, sparks will be generated and reflected to the wall of the microwave oven, making it impossible to heat food and damaging the oven body.
③ Containers for food must be heated in a microwave oven and must have air vents. Otherwise, the water in the food will evaporate into gas during the heating process and cannot be discharged in the closed container, causing explosion and damage accidents.
④ For food with shells, pierce the shell in advance to leave an air outlet, and then heat it in the microwave. Otherwise, the gas in the food will expand and explode during the heating process, which may stain the furnace wall or cause an explosion.
