Microwave, did you know ...

This new "ally" modern by 1945 there emerged when an American engineer and scientist, Percy Spencer, one of their research for the manufacturer of radar was working for Raytheon, found that the magnetron, a high frequency generator, had made the chocolate he had in a of his pockets completely melted being around him.
Thus we see that as with many current applications, such as GPS, the microwave also emerged from military research, in this case radar.
From wikipedia:
If a food contains no water or other polar liquid (with molecules with one positive and one negative), not heat. So an empty plate is not heated.
Never put anything with liquid seal, like a raw egg shell, or a glass closed. The effect is that water is heated to become steam, which expands, causing great pressure and may even explode.
Recipe:
For the caramel burned:
Sugar.
few drops of lemon juice
Fill muffin cups or the like with a thin layer of sugar and a few drops of lemon juice (see photo). Lead to microwave 10 seconds. Stop and check. 10 seconds i stop to check. So until we see that the sugar takes on a dark color (see photo). When and remove and let cool.
cupcakes:
2 lemons 100 g sugar 2 eggs
100g of butter and a little more for pan.
100g cake flour
1 chocolate bar (optional)
1 - Cream the butter with the juice of half a lemon and the skin around the lemon, grated very fine latter. The mixture is foamy, add eggs one at a time and go beat. Finally add the flour and baking smooth.
2 - Pour the mixture into the caramelized mold. If you want a touch of chocolate filling
halfway, put some chocolate shavings or small pieces (see photo) and cover the top. cover tightly with plastic wrap and place in the microwave at medium power (about 650w) for four minutes approx. "Crystal" sugar
2 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon water.
Dissolve sugar in water and heat in microwave at full power. Go stopping every twenty seconds until you see the mixture thickens slightly and gets a yellow. Another way to see who is ready is to take a drop on a cold surface, should solidify a few seconds. If so will have to proceeding with the hot mixture. We place a cookie or similar pan lightly greased with the desired shape (in my case one round) on a baking paper and fill with the mixture to a thickness of one or two millimeters. Let cool, remove the paper and the mold and ready.
Lemon Curd for garnish 1 egg
35 g.
70 g. butter
sugar Grated zest of half a lemon. If it is too large, something less.
50 ml. lemon juice
1 - In a microwave safe bowl beat eggs with sugar until smooth. Add the juice and lemon zest and butter. Take the microwave on medium power for 20 s intervals, stirring after each interval. It is important not to skip any interval as they may be portions of cooked egg. When the mixture is thick enough, remove. To know we put the spoon and lifted her upside down. If the back of the spoon is dipped and the cream does not trickle down quickly is that it is thick enough.
photos can be seen in the lemon curd very orange color. This is due to lack of ingredients use only egg yolks. If using yolks and the result is better.
To assemble the dish:
Unmold the biscuits when they are cold. Put sugar on the glass and water with some lemon curd, the latter cold from the fridge.
