Welcome to Quick and Easy Microwave Cooking<\/h3>\n

The aim of Quick and Easy Microwave Cooking is to help people live a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle and save money.<\/p>\n

A microwave is a very energy efficient and low cost appliance that can produce healthy food quickly. The contents of this recipe book are organised by season so you can see and use what is available at different times of the year.<\/p>\n

If you use the Growing Middlesbrough website www.growingmiddlesbrough.org.uk you can also source locally produced ingredients.<\/p>\n

Quick and Easy Microwave Cooking was developed by the Federation of City Farms and Community Gardens as a part of the One Planet Middlesbrough: Creating Sustainable Communities project, which is funded by the Big Lottery\u2019s Communities Living Sustainably programme. One Planet Middlesbrough: Creating Sustainable Communities is a project helping Middlesbrough residents live more sustainably and save money.<\/p>\n

  1. Microwave ovens work by producing electromagnetic waves<\/a> via a magnetron inside the oven. These waves create friction in the water molecules<\/a> in the food, which then causes them to heat. The same process is used in a conventional oven, but the microwave is faster.<\/li>\n
  2. This process makes microwave cooking particularly good for liquid foods such as soups, sauces, casseroles etc. and when cooking at low power levels.<\/li>\n
  3. Containers suitable for microwave cooking should allow the microwaves to pass through e.g. glass & ceramics. Metal containers are not suitable and only plastic containers labelled \u2018microwave safe\u2019 should be used. Most takeout containers, can be used.<\/li>\n
  4. Cover bowls, where indicated in the recipes, with cling film, plate or similar lid to prevent splashing. Always remove cling film and lids carefully as the steam trapped can cause serious burns.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
