Microwave. What can we do in it?

I wrap the corn peeled from the leaves in a wet paper towel and "cook" in the microwave for 8-10 minutes at full power.

Girls, can anyone tried to bake a pie from yeast dough in the microwave? I did not find something in the recipes

Girls and boys!
Do you need a rice cooker and a steamer for a micra on the farm? it seems there are also multicooker and a double boiler, or maybe in a micra you can somehow quickly boil vegetables for a couple or something?

[Vika]

Vika, the easiest way is in a package, in its own juice it turns out.
neither a multicooker can replace a microwave oven for me, and its efficiency is several times higher.

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, yes, it does not replace me either, but here is another discount for a rice cooker and a separate steamer for the microwave. And I thought, maybe we should take it sooner.
and in which package is the easiest? So what? and vegetables and cereals?

no, the current washed vegetables whole in a salad, vinaigrette, and so bake potatoes.
rice in time is not much faster than usual, but also an option, I cooked in a glass pan, it was.
if you need to cook already chopped vegetables, in the same saucepan, a little to the bottom of the water, you can also add oil immediately.
and we had a double boiler in the kit, for a year and a half it never came in handy

[eye]

eyeThank you, Tan, so I don’t buy.

And I have been using a microwave steamer almost daily for 10 years. And it's very convenient for me.

[Galina]

Galina, Gal, for vegetables? it also seems to me that this is more convenient than a bag .. you need to close it or tie it up somehow, but here everything is laid down and hello
Probably I can do without a rice cooker, but I will still order a double boiler.
I recently bought silicone popcorn sweat in micr. It seems like do this pop = corn and suddenly, but it is much more convenient to use a cup with a lid. Popcorn is valid

[Vika]

Vika, I boil potatoes for a couple, basically. You can also any other vegetables.

And I have a strange question in connection with conservation - is it possible to sterilize jars in the microwave? That would be good.

[Mila56]

Mila56, I always sterilize there

[Kokoschka]

Kokoschka, Lilia, and it is possible in more detail, it is very important now. For how long? How much power? half-liter and liter. Put the bottom of the jar in the bottom (then there is condensation, moisture). Or put the jar upside down? Although, in principle, you can probably sideways. And how many jars can you put in at the same time, and in this case for how long?

I put as many cans as fit. I pour about a centimeter of water, time - by selection, so that the water in the jars boils.

[Anna1957]

Anna1957, Anya, can you sterilize cans of salads? And how long does it take?

[Anna1957]

Anna1957, Anya, can you sterilize cans of salads? And how long does it take?

I haven't tried it, but I think you can. Just by analogy with cooking, for example, vegetables for vinaigrette.

[Anna1957]

Anna1957, Anya, can you sterilize cans of salads? And how long does it take?

I do not Anna1957, but I will answer. I not only sterilize the jars themselves in the microwave, but also sterilize the workpieces. Put tomatoes in 1 liter jars with spices, pour with brine (whatever you like) and at full power for 5-8 minutes. depending on the number of cans (until the liquid boils). Without covers, of course! Then pull out and roll up.They are in the closet in the apartment.

[svetta]

svetta, I just do not want to sterilize on gas. Many thanks to you! In season, the advice is very useful!

[svetta]

svetta, I just do not want to sterilize on gas. Many thanks to you! In season, the advice is very useful!

I rarely make such salads now, but I used to choose recipes without sterilization. I just put hot blanks in sterile jars and rolled them up. It's easier for me And my mother has to be sterilized - it's easier than proving to her that it is possible without her

I tried to sterilize cans of canned food, they quickly start to run away. And I constantly sterilize empty jars, 1 st. l. pour water there and 5min at full power.

Yes, don't forget about the power. I just sterilized the jars. I think: why doesn't it boil for so long? And my penultimate power was

so that the water in the cans boils.

1 st. l. I will pour water there and 5min at full power.

Thank you girls for the answers, otherwise I would have shoved cans without water.

svetta, thanks for the joyful answer for me. How little we need for joy.

- I agree with Sveta, I did just that yesterday, there was a jar of assorted cucumbers with tomatoes, I made them cut in large pieces, quickly and conveniently.

I pour about 3 cm of cold water, 0.5 cans -5 minutes, 1 l -10, two-liter also 10, I put it lying down, water - so that it does not pour out lying down. but my turntable stove doesn't have

And today I sterilized condensed milk. They brought me 4 kg of boiled and raw in a film, such as packed sausages, on order. I was afraid that I wouldn’t lie, so I warmed it boiled in a micra in jars for 7 minutes and rolled it up to the impossibility of - it’s faster at times than fiddling with pots. But I doubt it with a raw odd - probably it will be the old-fashioned way on the stove. What do you think, girls and boys?

Tanya, I have no experience in sterilizing food in the micron, but logically it should not differ from the stove. Well, do not top up to the very neck, otherwise someone ran away (salad, in my opinion). Well, watch out, probably, so that it does not burn out - chocolate loves, for example, to burn. In short, I would try a small jar.

Annushka, it’s so, but that milk - will it wash off or burn? In short, while there is no order with raw condensed milk, let’s lie down with sausage, and for now I’ll think about it and, if anything, I’ll report back
Varenka, by the way, in these minutes I started to boil right in the jar - not all, but the volcanoes appeared
And about chocolate - for sure, it is worth overheating a little - and here you are, eat burnt. But then it also depends on the chocolate, and sometimes not on the brand, but, apparently, on the batch (some manufacturers -)

Recently I discovered the microwave cooking of pasta. True, this was described in the instructions for my stove, but who of us reads those instructions to the end.

Pour 250g of pasta into a microwave container (I have a glass saucepan of 2.5 liters), salt, pour 1 liter of boiling water. Put in the oven and cook at full power (I have 900 W) for 10-11 minutes. Without cover! Stir several times during cooking.Let stand for 3-5 minutes, drain the water through a colander. Done!
For me, this method turned out to be much faster than boiling water on an electric stove and boiling horns on it. Klats the electric kettle, while it is warming up, by the way - very quickly, I poured the shells into the pan, salted it, poured it into the stove. While the salad has been tilted, it's ready! But nothing will escape from the pan and stick to the bottom.

[svetta]

svetta, Brilliant! I will definitely try!

I have a Whirlpool and a double boiler. Also for 10 years I cook rice only in it. I add 1: 2 and set the time as indicated on the package. Usually 20 minutes, yesterday I cooked brown rice - 35 minutes. I don’t salt, it turns out rice to rice, very convenient. I also do steamed fish, especially good mackerel, trout or salmon steaks. Dill stalks in the belly, lemon circles on top. I did so and dorado and sea bass, whatever. Delicious and low-fat. And recently I made pike perch under marinade. I steamed the fillet, then fry it - onions, carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers in a micron in a saucepan with butter. I mixed everything, salt, peppercorns, a little apple cider vinegar and voila! Simple and delicious. And I also have a microvoltage mode with convection, I bake chicken, meat, and ham and boiled pork in a bag or pastry paper.

[Sveta,]

Sveta, thanks for the advice. I completely agree with you ... who reads this instruction ?!

[Natusichka]

Natusichka, the instruction for household appliances in the Russian version should begin with the words: "Well, have you already broken it?", because in other versions we rarely read it ((I usually start, and then)

[Scarlett]

Scarlett,

No, it should begin with the words: "you pressed all the buttons and turned all the knobs, but you still can't do anything? Instructions !! This is what you need!")))

[Scarlett]

Scarlett,

No, it should begin with the words: "you pressed all the buttons and twisted all the knobs, but you still can't do anything? Instructions !! This is what you need!")))

and they also cracked the lids and broke.
it's time to start studying the instructions

And I, by the way, always read the instructions. Look!
For some reason I don’t like only the recipes that are in the instructions, I don’t even know why!

[Rusalca]

Rusalca, PPKS !!!

And I, by the way, always read the instructions. Look!
For some reason I don’t like only the recipes that are in the instructions, I don’t even know why!

and I, well, no way ... current if someone tells. I'm allergic to instructions!

A good and correct instruction begins with the words: "Well, have you already broken it?"

I am like a lady from those. education, until I study the instructions, I will not turn on anything, and my husband will not allow it (labor protection and safety, you will not be spoiled here!). But for some reason, the recipes given do not inspire confidence in me, I cannot explain. I use very few recipes, mainly those given for "Auto Cooking" - there is such a function in my oven. The mackerel turns out well, simply delicious, quickly and simply !!!

[svetta]

svetta, druhh!

[Mirabel]

Mirabel, and PPKS is what? And then I can already be offended, but I still do not know!

[Rusalca]

Rusalca, namesake, I subscribe to every word

[Anya]

Anya, thanks, enlightened the dark!

I realized that I had to study my instructions. It turns out that there are many interesting and unknown things in it!
I will say more. A long time ago, when I bought the first stove, I bought a huge book "Microwave Cooking", which still serves as a decoration of my kitchen interior. And no more.

[svetta]

svetta, I have such books that decorate the interior well, just heaps ... The current is in the chest of drawers, more in plain sight they act on my nerves, the donors in cooking do not even crow

A good and correct instruction begins with the words: "Well, have you already broken it?"

True? I don’t read them either. And so I don't even know how they begin.

PPKS

And I also thought it was some kind of syndrome !!
