Microwave. What can we do in it?

To achieve a "flatness" (so that the oil does not drain), I fasten the halves together with toothpicks).

For the gifted, please explain how do you fasten the halves together? At first I thought that it was necessary to fasten with each other .. but it seems not.
Cut the potatoes in half, cut out the middle shallowly and butter there and lay out the top with a cut? So?

[Loksa, Oksanchik!]

Loksa, Oksanchik! thanks for the before and after photos of the dish!... such neat buters turned out! Dream!
Everything is much sadder for me visually! But, in general, I cook on the principle of "just get out of the way" Well, and chomp - not a fool! So why try?
Ah, you - a little clever - a beauty! Look, what beauty she has created!

Girls, in the original recipe (I cannot refer to it), the author cut the halves, took out a part from the half of the potato and filled it with a piece of butter. Then one of the users made a proposal - to cut off half of the potato a little from the butt for greater stability.

[Vika]

Vika, quite right,

Cut the potatoes in half, cut out the middle shallow and butter there and lay out the top with a cut

And then these halves, so that they do not bend over, and the oil does not flow out of the depression, I fasten together with toothpicks. However, if you have a wide and flat plate, and you are sure that the halves will not tilt (oil will not leak out), this operation need not be performed. I tried to replace the butter with a piece of bacon - it turned out very tasty too.

[Lydia]

Lydia, quite right, thanks for the addition. But I didn't guess for stability

cut a little from the butt of half a potato

in the original recipe (I cannot refer to it), the author cut the halves, took out a part from the half of the potato and filled it with a piece of butter

If I remember correctly, I read about this method of cooking potatoes in the book by Ilya Lazerson. Has long been. And sometimes I cook like that too.

[Mikhaska]

Mikhaska, Irina, today I made sandwiches with saury and banana according to your recipe.
I added green onions to saury, instead of a loaf - homemade bread.
Not only me, but also my husband and daughter liked the sandwiches, although at first they were very skeptical. Thank you so much for the recipe from our entire family! I will definitely cook more - simple, fast, unusual and very tasty!
I support the proposal to decorate these sandwiches with a separate recipe, they deserve it !!!

Girls. help out, there is absolutely no time to search on the topic.
How to boil potatoes in micra for okroshka or salad?

How to boil potatoes in a micra for okroshka or salad?

wash, put in a bag or in a glass pan, prick, salt and for 10-12 minutes at maximum power (depending on the size of the potatoes)

[Vika]

Vika, I put the potatoes in a small double boiler, pour about 1 cm of water on the bottom. I turn on 800 watts for 13 minutes.

[Galina]

Galina, And the steamers are gone ...
Anyuta, Thank you!

[Vika]

Vika, in the package everything will turn out no worse

[Galina]

Galina, And the steamers are gone ...
Anyuta, Thank you!

Have a plate and a plastic bag? So you are cooler than all the cool! It's enough.

[Olesya]

Olesya, Nata, I apologize for the stupid question ... should there be a special package? For mikra?

Mirabelle, no, the package is normal, but durable. Is it okay that I butted? Lyudochka-Apple (eng.) I offered potatoes in a bag, 50 grams of water, and tie for 10-20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes and the power of the micra.She cooks both carrots and beets, only the beets need more time and the ends of the beets must be cut off on both sides. I often do this, too, now potatoes, it turns out not watery, for a salad or just for a herring, it's just very wonderful.

[Vika]

Vika, thank you very much!

Today I cooked medium-sized beets for the first time in mikra. I cooked it in a plastic saucepan with a lid, and for some reason it turned out to be wrinkled and half-empty under the skin, that is, it lost weight. I suspect that I digested it as I put it first for 10 minutes. at 800 W. By the smell it seemed that it was burning, after 10 minutes I took it out. looked - nothing burns and even at the bottom of the saucepan there was about a spoonful of beet juice and its appearance was just right. But I did not check the readiness and was afraid that the raw one turned on for another 10 minutes at the same power, and as a result, shriveled beets. Girls who boiled beets in a micr, why did I get such a result? Digested? In general, I liked to cook beets in a micra, I will experiment with time.

Lyud, I digested, you yourself understood.
maybe after 5 minutes it was necessary to poke and turn over.
True, I bake it in a bag, but only in micron, in water, I haven't boiled it for a long time.

How to boil potatoes in a micra for okroshka or salad?

Vika, mine is good, I put it on a saucer without piercing and a bag.
I put it at full power for 5 minutes, and there - poke - check

[eye]

eye, Yes Tatyana, digested. Experience is a gain.

Experience is a gain.

and profitable over the years

[eye]

and profitable over the years

eye, Tan and what is important useful.

The girls, for the first time about cooking vegetables in a micron, learned about the Tupperovskys. We were advised to cook vegetables with a very small amount of water, not at full power and not to salt, as the salt in the micron is to dry food, as it heats up more than the product.

[eye]

eye, Tan and what is important useful.

regardless of its "polarity"

Why add water when boiling vegetables in a micron? After all, vegetables already contain water and everything is cooked perfectly. This is not cooking porridge from cereals, here there is no way without water.

[Mila56]

Mila56, products are of different juiciness and 2 tablespoons of water will not do the weather, but will not let the product dry out.

[eye]

eye, yes Tan for sure.

[Lilida]

Lilida, yes 2 spoons of water of course you can.

[Mirabel]

Mirabel,

Any package. The usual thin packing will do.

Mila56,

Digested, yeah. Vegetables lose moisture in the microwave even if they are packed. If you ask a lot of time, you will get a dehydrated product, wrinkled, cotton wool ..

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, this is generally excellent! no unnecessary gestures are needed! Thank you!

[carefully]

Girls, but I make it even easier!
I rub raw potatoes with a cube of the right size, carefully(!) I rinse. At the bottom of the dose for microvolts I pour a little water to cover the bottom, pour the potato cubes, cover them with a lid and into the micra for 5 minutes at full power. I take it out, check it - if it's damp, mix it and add 1-2 minutes. The time depends on the amount-size of the cube-power μV, is determined empirically.
It is imperative to rinse, otherwise the cubes will stick together!
Where I read this advice - I don't know, maybe even on our HP, in any case, to the author - a huge THANKS!
Similarly, you can prepare other vegetables for salad.

I once cooked vegetables for a vinaigrette in the microwave, after cutting them into cubes. I didn't add any water, I cooked each vegetable (beets, carrots and potatoes) separately and even fried a little onion in sunflower oil. It turned out very tasty and fast. And most importantly, in the amount that was immediately eaten. After all, you can't cook the vinaigrette a little, and the next day it's already tasteless.

and the next day it is already tasteless.

Is it?

For me it tastes even better the next day. Infused!

Does the onion not change its taste? He spoils the vinaigrette the next day.

And I lightly fry the onion and then the taste does not change, and the truth becomes tastier

We were treated to vinaigrette in the monastery, they put onions separately, we ourselves added

Does the onion not change its taste? He spoils the vinaigrette the next day.

Don't add onions to the vinaigrette. Mix / add onions just before meals. For me, this is a general principle for all salads that have to stand in the refrigerator.

[Mikhaska]

an old recipe for such creative little sandwiches in a micro ...

Mikhaska, thanks for the sandwiches with saury and banana, I ate it myself, I didn't even share it with my family for the first time "out of greed", I liked it so much.

And I cooked corn, the cooking speed is amazing! The cooking method is written on the microwave package: incomplete package - 3 minutes, full - 5 minutes. Full turned out with 3 large cobs (in leaves). In exactly 5 minutes at full power + 5 minutes to "lie down and cool" the corn is ready. Very juicy, there is, salt, better right away.

What kind of corn is this ???

[Mirabel]

Mirabel,

Any package. The usual thin packing will do.

Mila56,

Digested, yeah. Vegetables lose moisture in the microwave even if they are packed. If you ask a lot of time, you will get a dehydrated product, wrinkled, cotton wool ..

I noticed that young beets cook well and quickly in the microwave. But already since winter, the harvested beets are cooked for a long time, unevenly and often wrinkle and dry out, even if you cook them in a bag with some water.

Girls, while cooking, try to reduce the power and set the time a little more than your usual.

What kind of corn is this?

Yes, the usual cobs that are sold in the markets. I used to cook in a pressure cooker for 30-40 minutes under pressure, but then I tried it! Do not salt and, if possible, do not take off the "clothes", although "undressed" did not work out badly. If I hadn't seen it myself, I wouldn't have believed it.

[j @ ne]

j @ ne, did you cook in a special package for mikra?

No without a bag, but cut off the corn ass ...

I cooked in a special microwave bag, it has a zip-fastener, but it opens from the steam (or should you not close it completely?). I think that it is possible in any package, for example, I cooked vegetables in the usual, the principle is not to dry them out.

The corn sellers taught me, just 5 minutes at a stroke. without any bags on the plate, hitting the cut!

Well, Lilechka, another cooking option, without a bag, but this, probably, if not cleaned of greens at all, right? In general, great! For so many years I cooked for a long time, but, it turns out, you can do it quite easily and quickly. My daughter loves corn, now no hassle with cooking!

[j @ ne]

j @ ne, yes, you can't clean the greens, but I still took off a little if completely dirty
