Not sure if this is the place to ask, but can someone please tell me
what is a good book on Microwave Cooking? I got a great 1000 watt
microwave oven and want to use it for cooking and I'm not talking frozen
dinners and canned soups.

I am single and want to expand my cooking to more than just canned soup,
canned pasta and frozen dinners and basic pasta. Yes, I do have an oven.
It is an old one with a metal rod hanging from the roof of the oven. I
was told it is some kind of tempature rod that measure the heat in the
oven. The other thing is, every time I cook a frozen dinner in that
oven, the tray would warp. That is in spite of the fact that I had the
oven tempature set to 350. It is for these reason that I want to move
over to the Microwave. By the way, I'm renting so I don't have a choice
in regards to the oven.

I'd appreciate any input as to what I can do with the Microwave. I'm
not looking to do gourmet; at least not until I get a handle on general
cooking.

Sincerely,

Barry Brindisi
