A stainless steel microwave oven. A sure way to get a quick homemade meal or warm up leftovers.
Every home should have a microwave. They’re very efficient, cooking or warming foods with minimal electricity compared to the oven or stove.
What can you cook in a microwave – almost anything! Here’s a quick list of our favourite microwave recipes.
Chili
Chili doesn’t need a whole lot of cook time, especially if everything’s either pre-cooked or a vegetable. Cook up some ground beef and then, add in some beans, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Steam them in a microwave-safe dish.
Noodles
Spaghetti and macaroni can be easily cooked in a microwave. Add in a pasta sauce and a meat, and you’re good to go. Knowing you can cook pasta in a microwave opens up a wide array of meals you can prepare.
Steam Fish
A healthy, nutritious piece of fish can be delicately steamed in 4-5 minutes in a microwave. A stainless steel microwave oven is the quickest, cleanest way to cook fish, and can be thrown in with vegetables and herbs as well.
String Beans
Steam some string beans in aromatics, herbs, or sauces of your choosing in a microwave. Steaming them can be done in a covered casserole container. If you still don’t mind some crunching, you don’t have to cover them.
Tacos And Wraps
There are several ways to make tacos, from Mexican-style to shrimp tacos. These are small and extremely easy to cook, and only need a few minutes to cook, heat up, and combine the ingredients together.
Banana Bread
Yes, that’s right. You can bake in a microwave. It’s limited what you can do but you can accomplish more than you probably think. Banana bread in a mug is quick, tasty, and can be customized with all the nuts, chocolate chips, or raisins of your choosing.
Cook Eggs in a Microwave
Eggs just need heat to cook. Crack them open into a bowl, stir them up in to a scramble, and microwave them away. If you don’t like scrambled, you can also poach them with just a few inches of water.
Any Frozen Ready-to-Eat Meal
Of course, a microwave is perfect for those cheap microwave dinners from the grocery store. When you’re in a rush or simply want something to fill your stomach, it takes 5 minutes to do a microwave ready-to-eat dinner.
This is just the start. You’ve got plenty more microwave meals you can prep, like homemade popcorn, soup, cornbread, oatmeal, avocado toast, and even pizza. Buy a microwave from Living.ca today and get started on a whole new recipe book!
