HOW TO ADD MOISTURE TO FOODS

Sprinkle

Sprinkle a little fruit juice or water over dried fruits, cover with plastic wrap and microwave 1/2 to 1 minute at High to moisten and plump them.

Wet Paper Towel

Wet Paper Towel, with excess water squeezed out, provides enough moisture to steam fish fillets and scallops. Wrap tortillas or crepes in damp towel and microwave at High 1/2 minute or more to soften them.

Add Water

Add Water or sauce when reheating dry leftovers. A tablespoon of water or sauce is sufficient, and will not change the flavor of food or cause overcooking. Moisture creates steam for even reheating.

Soften

Soften lumpy brown sugar by placing in a microwave oven proof container with a slice of apple. Cover or seal tightly and microwave 1/4 minute or more, until moisture from the apple has softened the sugar.
