Hit me with your microwave tips ck

I tired making rice in this but it overboiled and made a mess. Also i burned the popcorn bc this oven was too small, inflated popcorn bag was too big to turn inside and it burned.
I need ur recipes and tips please

The microwave isn't for cooking you mong. It's for reheating and even then most foods are better off reheated on the stove or in a mini oven.

>> No.11544433

>>11544388
Well it's too late now since I bought it. Also I plan to use it for reheating but I wanted to cook few things too. I wanted to avoid buying a rice cooker but I might still get one.
Also not a mong., Have only two chromosomes

You can pretty much Google these things.
You can cook potatoes in them, but they'll be just soft with no crispy shell.
You can cook bacon in them if you do it right.
You can steam things in them... Probably.

A microwave oven would be better for you than a plain old microwave if you wanted to really cook in one...

Chef Mike is a great addition to any household. What if you need some melted butter? Am I supposed to get out a fuckin pan and melt it on the stove when I could melt in the microwave in 15 seconds which is 1% of the time it would take another way

I always make rice in the microwave
>1 cup basmati
>2 cup already boiling water
>salt and optional dry seasonings
>8 minute cook on medium power
>add sauces if I'm doing that
>2 minute cook
>check to see if there's water at bottom, cook until is gone
Ezpz
I do "texmex" which is just add a packet of sazón at the beginning, can of refried beans and onion powder after 8 minutes, 45 seconds left I add monteray jack and wala, savory af and tastes like heaven.
Can add a portion of that Golden Curry shit I always buy from the chink market at beginning for sudo-india food.
Half jar of pasta sauce after 8 minutes for poverty pasta, or just 2 cups rice 4 cups water and whole jar.
Lime juice and dry cilantro at the beginning to get that Signature Chipotle White Rice
4 can tuna, handful of frozen peas after 8 minutes and some 'chup after cooked for a more filling version of tuna mac.
Or you could learn what google is

Never cook microwaved foods at 100% high power. Always double the time and half the power, it will much more evenly heat your food.

It keeps boiling out of the bowl, and it floods the microwave.

This is not a bait thread, can't a girl ask for advice???

the best tip is to not get a shitty small microwave. go big or go home.

Make sure the bowl is 3x the amount of dry rice you plan to use in it. I use a 7 cup pyrex glass bowl with no cover and regularly make 2 cups rice in it.
The reason I leave uncovered is bc the microwave does a good enough job keeping the steam from seeping out. I literally microwave rice daily and have never had this issue.

I covered mine. Thanks for info, will try again. I still have rice from the other day, made 4 cups on the stove. It works like magic for reheating
