Microwave Tip: Making bacon in the microwave is so much simpler than using your stove-top. A paper plate, a few paper towels, and wow! Delicious bacon without a greasy pan to clean.

If you've already learned to cook bacon this way, you've probably bee...n throwing away those greasy paper towels when you're done. Here's something you can do with them instead.
Fold each paper towel in half, and then in half again. Place all your greasy paper towels in one zip-lock freezer bag and store in the freezer.
The next time you make a baked potato in the microwave, first prepare the potato as you normally do (cleaning, and piercing with a fork). Wrap the potato in one of the paper towels from your freezer bag and cook according to your regular method. The bacon grease on the paper towel will add flavor to your baked potato.Read More

Microwave Tip: Peeling Tomatoes
When tomatoes are cooked, the skins usually separate and then float around in the dish you are preparing. This does not always create an appetizing appearance, so recipes often call for you to peel the tomatoes first. Before microwave ovens, the most common method was to boil tomatoes in ...water on the stove-top. You can speed up this process in the microwave:
1. Boil 2 1/2 cups water in a microwave-safe container.
2. Add 2 tomatoes.
3. Cook 45 seconds at 100% power, or until the skins have split.
4. Remove the tomatoes, plunge briefly into cold water, then drain.
5. Peel the skins from the tomatoes.
Alternatively, you can also peel tomatoes without blanching them first:
1. Place tomato in microwave.
2. Cook 15 seconds at 100% power.
3. Let stand 1 minute.
4. Peel.Read More

Microwave Tip: Getting More Juice From Citrus
Whether you want to enjoy fresh squeezed orange juice, or need fresh lemon juice for a recipe, you will get more juice from your citrus if you microwave it first. It is more difficult to juice citrus right out of the refrigerator than if they are room temperature. You'll get... the most juice if you microwave your citrus first.
1. Prick the skin in several places. Place the citrus on the oven tray. Cook for 20 seconds at 100% power.
2. Roll the citrus under your palm on a kitchen counter. This will get the juices flowing and provide you with a higher yield of juice.
3. Cut citrus in half and squeeze. The juice will flow easily.
4. Repeat for additional fruit.
You can also dry citrus peel in your microwave.
1. Scrub citrus well.
2. Slice into strips and place on paper towel.
3. Cook for 30 seconds at 100% power. Rearrange. Cook for an additional 30 seconds at 100% power.
Finally, to dry grated peel:
1. Place grated peel in a microwave safe bowl.
2. Cook for 30 seconds at 100% power. Stir. Cook for an additional 30 seconds at 100% power.
Cooking times are for a 700-watt oven. To convert cooking times, use our convenient conversion charts: http://www.microwavecookingforone.com/Ch

Microwave Tip: Avoid Superheating!
Superheating is when liquid is heated to a temperature above its normal boiling point and can cause havoc in your microwave oven. Joe Wolfe, an Associate Professor of Physics at The University of South New Wales in Sydney, Australia, has put together an excellent explanation in "Superh...eating and microwave ovens," which not only explains how and why it happens, but how to avoid it as well. You can read the article here:
http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/~jw/superhea
In addition, When you cook food directly on the oven tray, moisture will condense on the tray. To avoid superheating the moisture and causing the tray to crack, always wipe the tray dry before using the oven again and placing another utensils in it. An example of cooking directly on the oven tray is Corn on the Cob in the husk. We've added the simple instructions for great Corn on the Cob from the microwave at the main website:
