Exp. 5/17/91 n a rainy Sunday af- ternoon, as I watched the energetic boy/star of "Home Alone" on the big screen, I was reminded of another scene portrayed each month by pre-schoolers at my cooking classes for children. These little packages of dynamite are full of en- thusiasm and definitely self- sufficient when given the chance. The culinary arena is the perfect place for them to practice entry into the adult world. By teaching them the three "C's" of children cook- ing: Cleanliness, Choice and Closeness, a wonderful ex- perience can follow. The microwave is safe and easy for children to use. The microwaves travel directly to the food without heating the air. Paper, some plastics, and plastic wrap should be used primarily because they allow the waves to pass through, are shatterproof and can be used for mixing, cooking and eating. MICROWAVE SPRING VEGETABLE CUPS 1 washed and baked potato Y2 cup fresh vegetables, (peas, grated carrots, etc.) 1 tablespoon low-fat cottage cheese, cold 2 tablespoons skim milk, cold 1 teaspoon minced dried onions 1 egg 2 shakes of grated Parmesan cheese 1. Scrub the potato with a vegetable brush and water. Then wash your hands with soap and water. 2. Make a series of holes in the center of the potato by pressing the fork prongs into the potato. Once is enough. 3. Place a paper towel around the potato and put on the ceramic tray of the microwave oven and close the door. 4. Press the Cook/Micro button, Time button — 4:00 minutes, and Start button. When the buzzer sounds that cooking time is over, wait an additional 30 seconds before opening door. (Those waves are still moving around) Put on your pot holder mitts, and remove potato to cool. 5. Wash vegetables as needed; peas in the pod are clean. Ruth Samuels is a food writer in Pennsylvania. • 6. Over a medium-size mix- ing bowl, break egg and mix. Measure and mix all the other ingredients: milk, cot- tage cheese, minced onion, saving the Parmesan for later. 7. Cut potato in the center across the width. Scoop out pulp but leaving a layer on the walls of the potato. Add potato to egg mixture and blend together. 8. Make alternating layers of potato and vegetables with a potato layer on top. Sprinkle with 2 shakes of Parmesan cheese on each spring cup. 9. Place in double-paper muffin cups or paper bowl in the microwave oven. Press Cook/Micro, Time — 3:00 minutes, Start.
