About this title

From Publishers Weekly

"Microwhiz" Kreschollek ( The Guaranteed Goof-Proof Healthy Microwave Cookbook ) here contributes a third volume to her successful "goof-proof" series. To the author's credit, she hasn't skimped on covering the basics. Her introductory suggestions and techniques will ring true for every level of microwavery: "Don't turn the microwave on and walk away before first looking inside to be sure you did not leave a metal utensil, a twist tie, or a foil wrapper inside. . . ." The recipes, however, are reminiscent of what should be a closed chapter in a bygone era of American fascination with processed foods. The majority are marred by the author's overdependence on "convenience" staples like instant rice (when conventional rice performs well in the microwave) and canned cream soups (replete with salt and fat). Kreschollek's best recipes are for the kind of from-scratch tidbits that would be painstakingly time-consuming to prepare with old-fashioned methods. Her excellent recipes for jams, fruit butter and bread-and-butter pickles--all utilizing healthful, flavorful, fresh ingredients--are speeded by the microwave's unique magic.
