Using a microwave

A microwave is a handy piece of kit to use for reheating or defrosting food, but you can also cook whole dishes in a microwave like macaroni cheese, chocolate cake and scrambled eggs. Find recipes at bbcgoodfood.com and on page 62. Make sure you only ever use microwave-safe plates and dishes (this is often labelled on the underside of the plate or dish), and never put metal (like

a piece of cutlery) in the microwave.
