All cooking methods cause foods to lose some of their nutrients, but the quicker your potato cooks, the more nutrients it will retain. Place on microwave -safe plate and microwave on medium-high for 6 minutes. Carefully test for doneness both the plate and sweet potato will be hot.
The potato should yield to firm pressure but not be too mushy. If the potato is too firm, microwave again for 1 minute increments, until cooked through.
Boiling sweet potatoes retains more beta-carotene and makes the nutrient more absorbable than other cooking methods such as baking or frying. While you can microwave multiple sweet potatoes at a time, I recommend just cooking them individually. They stay warm for a long time after they come out of the microwave, and cooking two sweet potatoes at once takes twice the cook time as one, and sometimes longer!
Wash sweet potato thoroughly, pat dry, and pierce times with a fork. Place potato on microwave-safe plate and microwave 5 minutes, turning halfway through. An arcing effect is when sparks occur as a result of electromagnetic waves in a microwave reflecting or bouncing off metal. Boiling may actually retain most of the antioxidant power of sweet potatoes, compared to roasting and steaming. Therefore, from a nutritional standpoint, boiling rather than baking should be recommended for cooking sweet potato.
Maple syrup, butter and toasted pecans. If you read the ingredients on the side of a frozen veggie bag, nothing is listed but the vegetables no preservatives, etc. People also experience the same thing with fresh vegetables. I added a cup of water to properly load the microwave and it stopped sparking. This has happened to me with fresh, organic vegetables as well! This has never happened in all the years I have used the microwave, and now 3 times in the past 6 months.
We were just heating up some Birds Eye Steamfresh and they sparked started smoking and my Microwave shut down. The Microwave is less than a year old and was not cheap. Anyone else have it break their Microwave? I am having the same issue happening with fresh green beans straight from my garden. We cooked the fresh snapped green beans earlier in the evening. Later I put some in the microwave to munch on before going to bed. They lit up and caught on fire. It is not something coming from the frozen beans or the bags, mine have never seen the freezer or a bag.
I am also here because I thought it might be my microwave but guess not! In the past this has happened to me with frozen-then reheated veggies and I just assumed it was due to something when they are frozen but now that it has happened with fresh veggies I am stumped.
At least I now know I am not crazy and our microwave is just fine. Interesting to think that covering them with water seems to be the best solution. It happened to me with broccoli today. I am thinking that the culprit has either to do with newer microwaves or conspiracy theory coming straight from my butt all the increased radio waves due to cell phones and the internet.
The earliest report I can find of this happening is from 8 years ago. I placed frozen chopped onion, celery, bell peppers combo in my microwave last night, on a microwaveable paper plate and sparks and fire and smoke started immediately. My mom uses microwaves for everything and has never seen this until now. So, I think the many comments on here stating it is from the minerals in the food are right, but the fact that it is happening more and more and no one had reported it in the past makes me think that they have higher levels of minerals and maybe there is a limit to how high the mineral levels can be and what types in order to still be safe.
You still have the high levels of metals that are seemingly a new phenomenon. Hate to say it, but Bill Gates is on the record for funding private geo-engineering to combat global warming, spraying nano particles of aluminum and barium into the air, all over the planet.
They are not benign in these forms. Years ago it was broccoli. Microwaves are now or watts -- much more powerful than earlier ones. The combination of natural minerals iron, potassium, etc. But sweet potatoes and chicken pieces Why? Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data.
