No More Tears

If you struggle to chop onions with tears streaming down your face, never fear! All you have to do is chop the onion in two and microwave it on high for 45 seconds. Afterward, the onion won’t be so potent so you can cook in peace.

Easy Garlic Peeling

Here’s another neat trick that allows you to easily peel garlic without getting your hands sticky. Simply put the garlic cloves in the microwave for 30 seconds on high heat, and then when you peel them the skin will just fall off!

Quick Fluffy Baked Potato

Pierce the potato several times and then microwave on high heat for 12 minutes, turning the potato halfway through. When you see that it’s cooked in the middle, the potato is ready to eat.

Tasty Eggs

You can poach, scramble, and fry eggs in the microwave. For the easiest results, simply break one or two eggs into a microwaveable bowl, season with salt and pepper, and pierce the yolks. Then cook for 40 seconds on high, or until set. Serve just before they look ready.

Dry Herbs

Place your herbs between two paper towels and microwave on high for two to three minutes. They’ll easily crumble together, and allow you to place them on various dinner dishes such as salmon or chicken.

Scrambled Eggs

You can make tasty scrambled eggs in the microwave in three minutes. Whisk two eggs in a mug and add milk if you want it fluffier.

Chili

Put seasoned ground beef, bell peppers, canned beans, and tomatoes into a microwavable bowl. Cover with a ventilated plastic cover and microwave on high heat for 5 minutes. Once steamed, mix in some chili powder, green onions, cumin, tomato paste, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cover, heat for a further 4 minutes and serve.

Poached Salmon

Arrange thin lemon slices in an 8″ by 8″ glass baking dish. Lay the salmon fillets on top, sprinkle with salt and add water. Once the tray is covered with a ventilated plastic wrap, heat on high power for 8 minutes. When the salmon turns pink and opaque, you can drain and serve.
