Time-Saving Tips for Entertaining

It’s officially busy holiday season, and that makes us think about time saving. Anything we can do more efficiently means less time working in the kitchen and more time relaxing by the fire. Here’s one way: the microwave.

Cooking with the Microwave

If you think the microwave oven is just for reheating your leftovers, it’s time for a new perspective. Cooking Little Potatoes in the microwave means your side dish is cooked in five minutes. Put pre-washed, no-peel Creamer potatoes into a microwave-safe bowl, cover with water and cook on high for five minutes. Then drain, and toss with butter or olive oil and your choice of seasonings. Even easier: our Microwave Ready option in different delicious flavor varieties—Garlic Parsley, Savory Herb, and Three Cheese.

Because microwave steams food from the inside out, it actually does a much better job at preserving vitamin C and other nutrients, according to a study by Harvard Medical School. Plus, we’ve found it yields extra soft and buttery tasting Little Potatoes.
