THE
MICRO A
m \ J
m
BLOOMER
School’s started and the lunch
boxes are on the counter again
waiting to be filled. Your
microwave cooks bar cookies
easily and quickly, so why not try it
for lunchtime treats.
Individual cookies cook better m
your range, unless you are using
special microwave recipes.
However, most bar cookie recipes
can be cooked in your microwave
without any changes. Here are
some tips for good results, and two
of our favorite recipes to help you
fill those lunch boxes.
1. Bar cookies and brownies
bake well in an 8 x 8” glass or
plastic pan if you cook them on
medium (50,5) power. If you turn
the power down to medium when a
recipe calls for high, double the
time given for high power.
2. Many recipes, and mixes call
for a ring mold or a glass in the
middle of the pan. This is
necessary if you cook on high
power, but you do not need to use
this donut shape if you bake on
medium power (50,5) instead.
3. Do not grease and flour the
container. Some recipes call for
greasing a pan, when necessary.
Otherwise, no pan preparation is
needed.
4. To prevent the corners from
overcooking when you bake on
high power, shield the corners of a
square pan with triangles of
aluminum foil. You can do this if
you bake on medium too, but
usually it’s not necessary. When
you use foil for shielding, keep the
foil 1” or more away from the oven
walls, and look through the window
to check for arcing (sparks) when
you turn the power on.
5. Covering the pan with wax
paper will help the cookies bake
evenly.
6. Bar cookies are done when the
center has raised, and a small
damp looking spot remains in the
center. If you are using a clear
glass pan, check for doneness on
the center of the bottom. Very little
unbaked batter should appear. Bar
cookies will cook a little more
during standing tune, so don’t
overcook them. Cookies that are
hard or dry are overcooked.
7. Let the pan sit directly on a
countertop or bread board for 5-10
minutes standing tune to finish
cooking.
8. If you are adapting a con
ventional recipe, try baking the
cookies on medium (50,5) for 8-12
minutes, until the center raises,
then bake on high for 1-3 minutes
until done. Write down the time it
takes on your recipe, so you’ll
know next time.

WEST CHESTER - Simon
Gray, a member of International 4-
H Youth Exchange, arrived in
Pennsylvania on Aug. 13, to ex
perience American lifestyle and
culture through participation.
Gray is a 25-year-old native of
England. His home is a farming
village where he worked on a 300-
acre farm. Gray was a member of
the Young Farmers Club for three
years and attended the Scar
borough 6th Form College for two
years.
His study interests include farm
machinery, especially old im

2 eggs
vs teaspoon vanilla
% cup flour
Vs cup cocoa
VS teaspoon baking powder
Pinch salt
1. Melt margarine in a medium
glass or plastic mixing bowl (Cook
1 minute on high). Stir in sugar,
vanilla, and beat in eggs.
2. In a separate bowl combine
flour, cocoa, salt and baking
powder. Stir into the egg mixture
until blended. Pour batter into an
8x8” greased microsafe pan.
3. Cook, covered with wax paper,
on medium (50,5) for 10 minutes,
turning the pan twice if your oven
cooks unevenly.
4. Cook on high for 1-2 minutes.
The center of the brownies should
be raised up and barely damp. It
will dry up and cook a little more
during standing time.
5. Let stand directly on a counter
or board for 5-10 minutes, then
move to a rack to cool. Cool before
cutting. Sprinkle top with
powdered sugar if desired.
TIP; If your oven doesn’t have
medium power, shield the corners
of the pan, and cook for 5-7 minutes
on high.
