What else do you require! Have a raft of recipes, but will only post what I have used, tried and true, unless there is anything specific you require. I always use my microwave to cook my greens, brocoli is awesome, also asparagus, silverbeet and spinach, cabbage,cauliflower as it's not got the goodness boiled out of it. It's important to keep even sizes (re thecut pieces of what you are cooking.) Also great for stewed apples, fruit etc.

I must say I didn't use the old mic at all, then, I was given a "Sensor cook" microwave, five years ago, and from then on have hardly used the top of my stove. On saying that, they are so easy to use you don't need any special recipe's.

we used to successfully make Lemon Meringue Pie and Choc self saucing Pudding in the microwave when we were flatting. Cheap, easy and quick. Can't remember the recipes now sorry but they were in the Edmonds Microwave cookbook

Microwave Brownies Makes: 16 brownies • 150g butter • 65g unsweetened cocoa powder • 200g sugar • 2 eggs • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 100g flour Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 5 mins | Extra time: 10 mins, cooling 1. Melt the butter in high for about 30 to 40 seconds. Add the sugar, cocoa and vanilla in that order and mix well. 2. Add the eggs, slightly whipping after each one. Add the flour and mix well. 3. Spray a microwave safe glass pan with cooking spray. Pour the batter into the pan. Cook on high for 4 to 5 minutes(the more powerful your microwave the less time it takes). Let rest for 10 minutes before cutting. Tip When you take the brownies from the oven the centre will look undone, but it keeps cooking when resting. And if you leave them overnight in the fridge, the next day they will be even more consistent.

I found an almost new copy of Readers Digest Microwave cooking in an Op shop for $4. It has some wonderful recipes, all very easy and quick too.
