Microwave tips

• When you try a new microwave recipe, jot down the results right on the recipe so that next time you will know the changes or adjustments you need to make.
• For best results, use metal measuring cups for both liquid and dry measurements. The glass measuring cups normally used for liquid measurement allow too much variation in amounts, producing variations in results.

Note: All microwaves are not created equal. These recipes are designed to work in a standard household microwave with a power rating between 600 to 700 watts. Mini-microwaves and/or commercial microwaves are not recommended.
