22Cooking vegetables in your microwave▯ Vegetables should be washed just before cooking.Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables suchas potatoes or carrots are being cooked, add about¼ cup of water.▯ Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans,etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables.▯ Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash orcorn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on theturntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly ifturned over halfway through cooking.▯ Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoliwith the stem ends pointing towards the edge of thedish and the tips toward the center.▯ When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dishwith a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.▯ Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, sweetpotatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have theirskin pricked in several locations before cooking toprevent them from bursting.▯ For more even cooking, stir or rearrange wholevegetables halfway through the cook time.▯ Most of the time, the denser the food, the longer therequired standing time. For example, a baked potatoshould stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dishof peas may be served immediately.Cooking seafood in your microwaveBe sure to place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rackin a microwave-safe dish.
