Convert A Recipe

     Although this information is not insurance related it is put here to help busy people.  If you have found this page useful please visit our group and individual insurance sections.
    Ever wanted to know how to convert a conventional oven recipe so that you could use it in the microwave.  It is pretty simple if you follow the directions below.

1. Microwaves are attracted to FAT, SUGAR, AND WATER (in that order).
2. Microwaves bounce off metal.
3. STANDING TIME - Foods cook 20 - 25% more after you remove them from the microwave oven.

CONVERTING CONVENTIONAL OVEN RECIPE'S

1st RULE - Cut back on the least rich liquid ingredient by 20-25% (usually this is the water).  This is because there is no dry hot air in the microwave to evaporate the extra liquid.

2nd RULE - Cut back on spices and sauces 20-25%.  For the same reason as rule #1.

3rd RULE - Anything with leavening (such as baking powder, baking soda, etc.) NEEDS TO REST FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AFTER MIXING (this is very important).

4th RULE - Keep food uniform in size or KEEP LEVEL.
