Hi all you Cooking and Culinary fans...
Just an update on the Art of Microwaving.
I have a device in my study for heating coffee, soups, fish and washcloths.
The Stylish but affordable Red Emerson MW8999RD:
I got a pretty good deal, but discovered they come in different height openings. Turned out my coffee cup is too tall to fit in the door by about 3
mm.
Well I'm proud to say today I figured out how to get my coffee cup in there. Yay. I just turn it sideways and put it in then stand it up and it just
makes it.
Since this is about the culinary art, what are some people's favorite things to microwave?
Mine is Salmon. It comes in plastic air tight packages and when done the package blows up and makes a nice pop, signaling that it's ready to eat. How
great is that?
My favorite recipe is Seasoned Shrimp. Here's the recipe:
1. Large bag of uncooked shrimp, jumbo;
2. Old Bay Seasoning;
3. Garlic powder;
4. Spring water (Deer Park).
Into a large plastic container with a lid, empty the frozen shrimp. Add a lot of Old Bay seasoning and a quarter bottle of water.
Heat for 6 minutes.
Remove and stir and add garlic powder
Heat for 3 minutes, but here's the secret. Don't cook them completely. The shrimps turn from a pale white to a nice orangish color when done.
Then get some large freeze baggies and put about 20 shrimp in each one. Seal and leave on the counter overnight to cool, then refrigerate. Makes five
dinners.
When ready to eat, just put the partially cooked shrimp in the baggie into the microwave and heat for 1.5 minutes (90 sec). This sterilizes them and
finishes cooking.
To serve just cut off the top of the freezer bag and eat.
