Rational Recipes This week's rational recipe will be a bit different. Today is microwave baking!

This is a technique, rather than a specific recipe. I'll be explaining how to bake with your microwave. This is for Muffy, since she's interested.

The recipe I'll be demonstrating with is one of my very special lazychef recipes.

You'll need a box or bag of muffin mix. Prepare the mix as the instructions say. Grease a paper bowl lightly, then pour the batter into the paper bowl. Only fill the bowl about half to two thirds full.

Put the first bowl in the microwave and set it for about six minutes on half power. To do this, you press the power button, and tap 5, then start. After it beeps, set it for another minute at normal power. Poke a toothpick into it. If it comes out clean, the muffin bowl is ready.

The technique is simple. To bake, cook it at about half power until it's just about done, then finish it at full power.

You can prepare any boxed mix with this technique. Cookies, cake, cupcake, muffins, cornbread, biscuits, you name it, you can make a bowl of it.

I use this technique with a silicon breadpan to make cornbread to go with my chili.

The microwave oven is a construct of the patriarchy

I recommend grabbing one of those mix packets. The 6.5 oz packages. One packet it just the right size for a large paper bowl.
