Tips are extended to more tricky tasks such as opening clams or proofing white yeast bread dough. After the recipe sections for poultry, seafood and meats, there are further hints to assist you in microwaving and thawing. The hassle-free cooking guide works out the quantities needed, the power to use and time needed. Quick breads too turn out moist and tender and the cookbook includes a number of selected ingredients and toppings to enhance microwaved baked goods. This will prevent the liquid from boiling over yet ensures that it is fully absorbed.
Desserts crown a meal and the microwave oven makes their preparation easier than ever.
The range of divine desserts like Chocolate-Almond Cheesecake , Tropical Parfaits , Banana Flans , Mocha Mousse and Spicy Peach Crumble helps you end your meal with a flourish. Cooking puddings and custards over a stove requires constant stirring but a microwave enables them to be cooked almost unattended, with only the occasional stir needed. Jellies, jams and preserves too can be made without vigilant stirring. Flour-based crusts bake better conventionally but the book shares other delicious alternative crusts such as buttery chocolate crumb, toasty coconut and meringue. To make sauces in the microwave, cook them uncovered to allow the liquid to evaporate, thus intensifying flavour and thickening the sauce.
