Have you ever been in a rush when guests are about to arrive? There’s a clever kitchen trick that can save you time and still impress your guests: cooking onions in the microwave! This method isn’t just fast—it reveals a soft, sweet side of onions that most people wouldn’t expect from such a quick process.
What Are the Benefits of Using a Microwave?
Many people underestimate the microwave’s potential when it comes to cooking vegetables. In reality, it’s an excellent tool for preparing onions quickly while preserving their flavor and nutrients. It’s perfect for moments when time is short but taste still matters.
How to Cook Onions in the Microwave
Microwaving onions is fast and easy. Here’s how to do it in just two minutes:
Prepare the Onion: Remove the outer layer and cut the onion into evenly sized pieces—rings, half-moons, or chunks, depending on how you plan to use them.
Use a Microwave-Safe Dish: Place the onion pieces in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap. This traps steam, helping the onions cook evenly and stay moist.
Cook: Microwave on high for about 2 minutes. Timing may vary slightly depending on the strength of your microwave and the amount of onion.
Finish: Carefully remove the dish (beware of hot steam!). You’ll be left with perfectly cooked, tender onions.
