Easy Microwave Pralines Recipes

MICROWAVE PRALINES

Steps:

• Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and bake in a 350-degree oven until lightly toasted, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Combine all the ingredients except the pecans and vanilla extract in a 4-quart glass bowl. Heat in a microwave oven on high power for 5 minutes. Using oven mitts or potholders, carefully transfer the bowl to a countertop and stir with a heat-resistant spatula. Return to microwave and heat for 5 more minutes.
• Stir in the pecans and heat for another 5 minutes. Stir and check the temperature with a digital or candy thermometer. If it reads 240 degrees, proceed to Step 4. If not, continue heating on high power, stirring and checking the temperature every minute until it does.
• Remove from oven and let the mix sit undisturbed. After 20 minutes, add the vanilla extract and stir vigorously until it becomes cloudy and creamy. Using 2 spoons, scoop and shape into 2-inch-diameter mounds on a baking sheet lined with foil, parchment paper or a silicone mat. If the mix becomes too hard to shape, reheat for 15 seconds. Let the pralines rest for 30 minutes. Keep stored in an airtight container.

Cook 1-2 minutes longer or until a candy thermometer reads 234° (soft-ball stage), stirring after each minute., Add pecans and vanilla; stir just until mixture starts to thicken, about 1 minute. Working quickly, drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared pans. Flatten slightly. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container.

PECAN PRALINES BY MICROWAVE

Steps:

• Cook on High 4 minute ( 5 ).
• Stir. Cook on High 4 minute (6 ).
• Add vanilla and pecans.
• Stir, then cook on High 2min. (5).
• Stir in powdered sugar.
• Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper over newsprint. If candy gets too thick, reheat 20-30 secs.
• Add more nuts at the end if you run out of nuts before candy, (but these don't taste as good as the cooked nuts.).
• You can also drizzle the extra candy at the end over the first pralines which don't have as much because it was too hot at first.
• It's the powdered sugar that makes the syrup crystalize as it cools.
• You can cook on stove---get syrup to softball stage -234*; stir constantly.

EASY CREAMY PECAN PRALINES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Lay an 18-inch sheet of waxed paper or parchment paper on the countertop.
• Cut the butter into small pieces. Place the pieces of butter on a plate and put the plate in the freezer while you heat the ingredients.
• In a heavy medium saucepan, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and evaporated milk.
• Place the pan over medium heat, whisk to blend, and cook until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage or 235 F when measured with a candy thermometer.
• Immediately remove the pan from the burner and stir in the frozen butter with a wooden spoon.
• Add the pecans and vanilla and continue stirring with a wooden spoon until the mixture is no longer shiny and thickens but is not too stiff. The candy should spread slightly when you spoon it onto the paper.
• Use a tablespoon to spoon mounds of the candy onto the waxed paper or parchment, making sure that there are pecans in each praline.
• Let the candy stand at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes.

MICROWAVE-STEAMED EGGS

Steps:

• In a medium, microwave-safe shallow cereal bowl, whisk together the eggs, dashi and salt until very well combined, at least 30 seconds. Skim off any bubbles with a spoon or pop them by blowing on them.
• Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe plate and microwave at 500 watts (on 50 percent power or power level 5 on a 1,000-watt microwave) until the eggs have just set and are no longer liquid in the middle, 5 to 7 minutes. (Every machine differs, so check for doneness at 5 minutes, then in 30-second intervals after that if needed.)
• Let sit in the microwave to cool slightly, then carefully remove, uncover and drizzle with the soy sauce and maple syrup, and garnish with the chives, if using. Serve immediately.
