Bean Pot / Oven Conversion Chart for Recipes

Convert a conventional oven recipe for use it in the Microwave. It is pretty simple if you follow the directions below.

Important to know:

1. Microwaves are attracted to FAT, SUGAR, AND WATER (in that order).

2. STANDING TIME - Foods cook 20 - 25% more after you remove them from the microwave oven.

CONVERTING CONVENTIONAL OVEN RECIPES

1st RULE - Cut back on the least rich liquid ingredient by 20-25% (usually this is the water). This is because there is no dry hot air in the microwave to evaporate the extra liquid.

2nd RULE - Cut back on spices and sauces 20-25%. For the same reason as rule #1.

3rd RULE - Try to keep food uniform in size for best results.

LET INGREDIENTS REST FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AFTER MIXING (this is very important).

TEMPERATURE CONVERSION CHART

MICROWAVE OVEN
100% High 425-500 or broil
70% Medium High 350
50% Medium 300
25-30% Low 225
10% Warm 150

HOW LONG TO COOK

Cook 1/4 of the conventional time. Be sure to allow for stand time.
Meat, fruit, vegetables, & poultry: Cook 6 minutes per pound
Seafood: Cook 3 minutes per pound.
Hard-boiled eggs -- After cracking the egg open and putting it in the bowl prick the yellow 2-3 times with a toothpick. Cook at 50% power for 45 seconds. Blended eggs should be steamed at 100% power.
