Amazing Dishes You Never Knew Were Possible in a Built-In Microwave

The first thing which runs to your mind when someone pronounces the word ‘microwave’ in your head is re-heating leftovers or popping popcorn. This is what most people do not believe, which is that there are things a built in microwave oven can do beyond being a powerhouse for cooking gourmet meals to rich desserts. From having less time to something that is fresh, creative, and tasty, your microwave really makes you capable of cooking a good number of easy-to-make recipes within a couple of minutes. Let’s have some astonishing recipes which you can make in your installed microwave!

1. Fluffy Scrambled Eggs in Minutes
Forget about cooking on the stovetop. Your built-in microwave can get the job done to cook up perfectly fluffy scrambled eggs in just a few minutes. Simply whisk eggs with a dash of milk, and salt to taste, and microwave for short periods in between stirring for best results. The end result: soft, evenly cooked eggs ready for your breakfast plate!

2. Mug Cakes: A Sweet Treat for Dessert Lovers
Want something sweet? This is the mug cake-the instant, speedy chocolate dessert cooked in a microwave. Mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and a splash of milk in a mug. Voila. Pop it in for a minute and you are all set. Savor the yummy gooey cake that has done away with your sweet craving, of course, not baked in the oven.

3. How to Prepare Easy Steamed Veggies
One of the easiest ways to retain nutrients and color is by steaming vegetables in a best built in microwave. Chop veggies, add some water in a microwave-safe bowl, loosely cover and microwave for some minutes. It’s marvelous for broccoli, carrots, beans, and even asparagus. Every time you have healthier and tastier results.

4. Gourmet Risotto Without the Stirring
You can do in your microwave what actually only a professional chef can do: make creamy traditional restaurant-quality risotto with the least effort. You must put only some Arborio rice, broth, and seasonings into a microwave-safe dish, then cook in intervals at them stirring occasionally in the last one, finishing with Parmesan cheese. A very rich and comforting dish, a long time-consuming process!

5. Homemade Potatoes Chips. Crunchy and guilt-free
Surely you could make crispy, oil-free potato chips in the microwave? Thin slices of potato mixed with any sort of salt or herbs or spice you like them and stacked in a single layer on a plate. Microwave a few seconds and flip them at half-time so they get gold and crispy. Pretty much a far cry from whatever you buy in your local store for snacks.

6. Tasty and Succulent Salmon Fillet
Cooking salmon in a microwave is weird to look at but just superb. Place a fillet of salmon in a dish, spread herbs and lemons all over it, and microwave for some time. Steam encloses the moisture and, at the end of that, there appears a flaky, soft, and juicy fillet tasting like it was done by a professional cook.

7. Soft and Chewing Microwave Brownies
No oven? No worries! A tray of gooey, fudgy brownies can be cooked straight in the microwave. Mix together butter, sugar, cocoa, and flour in a microwave-safe dish; heat in short intervals, cool slightly, and there you have rich, chocolatey brownies ready to devour.

8. Mac and Cheese in One Bowl
Forget the boxed version—homemade mac and cheese is just as easy to make in your microwave. Cook pasta with water, drain, then stir in cheese, milk, and seasonings before microwaving again. Stir well, and you’ll have creamy, cheesy goodness in minutes.

9. Breakfast Oatmeal with a Twist
While being a highlight for the microwave version of the meal, why is there not something further exciting about using oatmeal as a meal from the microwave? Add some fresh  fruit, nut, and cinnamon to your oats along with a small handful of peanut butter before microwaving. It becomes a thickly mouth-watered and highly flavorful breakfast full of nutrients.

10. Stuffed Peppers Microwave Magic
Fill the bell peppers with a cooked rice filling, ground meat, tomato sauce and spices. Letting it cook and tenderize in the microwave to the perfect delight with not a thing boiled. The dish is quick, tasty and full of flavors.

11. Corn on the Cob- No Boiling Needed
Microwave the cob of corn wrapped in a moist paper towel and cook for just a few minutes. This nifty technique makes use of the natural moisture content of the corn, which it will steam in your microwave without requiring boiling water for the perfect flavor and juiciness in its kernels.

12. Rich Chocolate Fondue
A rich, melted chocolate fondue waits at your fingertips microwave away. Just heat chocolate and a dollop of cream in a microwave-safe bowl for short intervals. Stir between the rounds. Use dipping fruit, marshmallows, or biscuits to fulfill this indulgence.

13. Garlic Butter Shrimp-Quick and Delicious
Shrimp cook super, super fast, and your best built-in microwave is the perfect way to cook them. Just toss shrimp with garlic, butter, and lemon juice and nuke till pink and tender. Toss over pasta or rice for the taste of a five-star restaurant but without the white linen.

14. Savory Mug Quiche
Need something hearty for breakfast? This is the easiest and most satisfying mug quiche. Just combine eggs, cheese, veggies, and cooked bacon in a mug and then microwave for a minute or two. It is a fluffy, protein-packed breakfast ready in no time.

15. Quick Nachos – The Ultimate Snack
In a hurry and need a snack? Layer tortilla chips, cheese, beans, jalapeños, or other desired toppings in a microwave-safe dish, and microwave until the cheese is melted. Add a topping of your choice: salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for that perfect homemade nacho in just minutes.
