step-by-step guide for microwaving an onion to perfection:
Ingredients:
1 medium-sized onion (any variety: yellow, white, or red)
Optional: a pinch of salt, pepper, or a dab of butter for extra flavor
Tools:
Microwave-safe dish or bowl
Plastic wrap or microwave-safe cover
Fork or knife
Instructions:
- Prep the Onion:
Peel the onion to remove the outer papery layer.
Slice the onion in half, or cut it into quarters or rings, depending on how you plan to use it. Whole onions can also work but may require an extra minute of cooking.
- Add Flavor (Optional):
Place the onion in a microwave-safe dish.
Add a small pinch of salt, a dab of butter, or a sprinkle of your favorite herbs for added taste.
If you’d like it to steam, drizzle a teaspoon of water over the onion.
- Cover:
Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid, a microwave-safe plate, or loosely wrap the onion with plastic wrap. Leave a small gap for steam to escape.
- Microwave:
Place the dish in the microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes. For whole onions or thicker cuts, start with 2 minutes, then check and add 30-second intervals if needed.
