Lg Microwave Oven Recipe Book

I understand that a lot of you do not have ovens at home and this is why everytime I share a recipe, you all ask me whether you can make that in a microwave and how to do the same. Baking a cake in a microwave is super easy, and can be used for any cake recipe! Yes, you read that right. You can make any cake you like in a microwave.
Make sure to not use the steel rack here that usually comes with microwaves, because it is unsafe to use in the normal heating mode. Just keep the microwave safe glass dish on the revolving plate and bake the cake.
Hello shivesh , can u plz tell me which bakeware( metal) is the best and safe to bake or cook in a convection microwave,, i used a silicone plate at 260c,, it broke down in oven while cooking ,, suggest me the best metal for all types of cooking??
Hello Shivesh, firstly I watch your videos on youtube and I have to say, the amount of efforts u put in are commendable. Im new to baking and whenever I bake a cake in the microwave especially using a metal tin, the cake remains uncooked in the bottom. Why does this happen? Could you please help?
thank you so much for helping us out here. still i had a question, just like you said that the time difference between OTG oven and convection oven baking is 7.5 minutes, so will it work for all the recipes ?
after what time should i open and check the cake while baking in a convection oven ?
also please suggest tips (if there are any) about the batter while baking in a convection oven.
thank you so much again, i really love your recipes !

If you are short on time, you can microwave spaghetti squash. I still prefer the results from cooking it in the oven, but I turn to the microwave when I need to cook spaghetti squash quickly. We did include this method in the video.
To microwave your spaghetti squash, cut it in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and season with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place the squash halves cut side down in a microwave-safe dish with about an inch of water. Microwave for 5 minutes, then cook in 2-minute intervals until a fork pierces it easily. Let cool before scooping out the squash strands.
You can also substitute spaghetti squash for noodles in many recipes. I often top roasted spaghetti squash with this homemade meat sauce or our easy red pasta sauce. You can even serve it next to these amazing Italian meatballs. Spaghetti squash is also lovely with a bit of butter and parmesan grated over the top.
In the early 1990s when I was studying on a fellowship program in Hong Kong, my local host invited me to dinner. I was excited to observe a home cook in action. But much to my surprise when I arrived, Mr. Wong's wife had all the food neatly arranged on plates. She then microwaved everything to cook or reheat. That evening, aside from singing karaoke for the first time, what stood out to me most was the steamed fish. Mrs. Wong bought the flat pompano at the market as a kit, with all the fixings, then transferred the contents onto a plate and zapped it in her nuker. Her meal was easy going.
The other night, I recalled the experience of that Hong Kong meal when I needed a simple quick dinner and had a piece of fish in the fridge waiting to be steamed. Instead of pulling out the Chinese steamer, or turning on the oven to bake the fish in parchment as I suggest in a Vietnamese Food Any Day recipe, I microwaved the fish.
The fried ginger sizzle is a new thing that turned out to imbue the hot oil with mellow ginger flavor while creating a dramatic slightly crisp edible garnish. Here are tips for microwaving steamed fish plus a video and recipe for you to tinker with.
Steaming a whole fish is grand but you may certainly use fish filet. My local favorite Chinese restaurant steams fish filet and it's great. I like fish on the bone so a fish steak is nice. For this recipe, I purchased a portion of bone-in, skin-on flounder at H-Mart, the Korean equivalent to Ranch 99, which leans toward China and Taiwan. You do not have to shop at an Asian market for the fish. If you're interested in steaming a whole fish, try a trout; it is small, easy to find fresh, and deliciously forgiving. Trout is sustainable and affordable too! Regardless, pick the fish that is freshest. Fresh fish should have a slight sheen on the flesh and skin; any eyeballs should be plump and vivid. Ask the fish mongers for assistance. They know what's freshest. Salmon would be fine here. So would sole or tilapia. People often times spend a lot of money for steamed fish but when I casually cook for myself, I look for the best fish at the moment. Sometimes it's on sale. Sometimes it was frozen and was thawed, though fresh is often best.
Choose a shallow wide bowl because there will be liquid involved. When you steam in a Chinese-style steamer, you're locked into the size of the steamer tray. In the microwave, there's more wiggle room, depending on the size of your microwave and fish. A whole fish can get very large so you may have to use a platter. I've only seen small fish or portions of a large fish microwaved so let's assume that microwaved steamed fish is casual cooking. Keep it easy going.
Now, manipulate the situation for the microwave by adding some water. The water helps to mimic steaming in a Chinese-style steamer. Without water, the fish may turn out dry. Loosely cover then microwave. Once cooked (the main recipe below has cooking time estimates), top the fish with the remaining green onion section, heat up the oil to fry the ginger and then when that's done, pour the hot oil over the green onion to sear it. I normally add the ginger before steaming but the fried ginger added crisp, nutty, zippy bling. Afterwards, finish with soy sauce. That's it.
Some folks swear by plastic shower caps -- the kind that hotels used to provide to guests. The late Chinese-America restaurateur Cecilia Chiang loved to pull out a shower cap for microwaving steamed fish! I don't have one so I use plastic wrap. If you're not into plastic wrap, try wax paper or use a covered microwaveable dish. I've seen microwave specific dishes for steaming fish but have never seen the need to purchase one.
It's easy and fast. However, it is not as succulent as steaming over water. If you're starting out with steaming fish, it's a great way to experiment. If you're busy and need a quick main dish, microwave steamed fish is a clear option. I'm pointing out the pros and cons of this method because there are gains and losses. Steamed fish is a wonderful special occasion dish but sometimes you just want a quickie version. When those times arise, try the microwave method.
Many people have microwave ovens but in the modern food writing world, the appliance is rarely spotlighted. Esteemed author and teacher Julie Sahni wrote an award-winning 1990 cookbook titled Moghul Microwave. Additionally, Barbara Kafka penned the Microwave Gourmet in1987. It wasn't until recently that the microwave has had a small resurgence, thanks in part to Dave Chang and Priya Krishna's new cookbook which includes the microwave in its subtitle. Food and Wine recently had a story on microwave cooking and invited me to contribute an eggplant recipe.
This recipe is so wonderfully delicious. I managed to combine the two recipes into my own little variation using a Gala apple, frozen blueberries, dried cranberries instead of raisins, and ate it along with half a cup or so of almonds. All the ingredients were organic and this was by far the most delicious treat I have made in awhile. Thanks so much for waking me up to the possibilities of baked apples ?
oh my! I made the apple with the blueberries, cinnamon, and splenda. It was so yummy! I just had gallbladder surgery too so it was a nice sweet treat. I want to try the raisin one tomorrow. Thanks for the recipes.
I soaked 15g of raisens in a mug with quite a bit of boiled water, cored the apple all the way through and placed in a bowl I added a good pinch of cinnamon then the raisens and pour a bit of the raisen water over the apple. Cooked in the microwave for about five mins. I chopped it all up. Added 25g of plan oats and soaked with the rest of the water, let it cooled down for a few mins and enjoyed. Yum.
I was looking for a quick way to bake apples and came across your recipe. The raisin idea is fantastic. I halve my apples and hit them with butter flavored cooking spray. I soak the raisins in and cover the halves with a zero calorie caramel pecan syrup cut with pomegranate vinegar and a splash of water. Sprinkle on the cinnamon and top the cooked result with whipped topping and a little nutmeg.
Last Thanksgiving weekend we walked into Sears with the intention of checking out some appliances. Before we knew it, we had plopped down a couple thousand of dollars in exchange for a spanking new double door refrigerator and a convection microwave oven.
Well, it's been over half a year since we got our appliances delivered, and I have to say, this tiny urban kitchen is loving her new appliances. After having suffered for years with 20+ year old appliances (that probably needed replacement parts like these), I was thrilled to have a microwave that could properly pop popcorn and a refrigerator that dispensed water!
I've been slow to adopt the convection oven capabilities of my microwave. Maybe I'm chicken, or maybe I'm just too lazy to learn. I have no other excuse for why it's taken me this long to learn how to make perfectly crispy roasted potatoes.
But alas, I've finally figured out a good recipe that makes potatoes that I love.
I used Yukon golds from my CSA farm share, which have fantastic potato flavor and are also waxier in texture. I love waxy potatoes, which could explain why I loved these potatoes even more.
