isnt it better if you warm the frozen potatoes in a pan than microwave?

Question

in microwave they are not so tasty

french fries

Answer 1

My Microwave gets for two things. Almost everything my grandson does and I only use it defrost meat. For me everything goes in the oven. On almost every frozen food I buy the preferred method is the oven. Things come out browner and crisper. Especially frozen french fries.

Answer 2

I don't like potatoes in the microwave, they get mealy. What kind of frozen potatoes? Home fries, french fries? Best to heat in a pan with a little oil, or bake with same.

Answer 3

Microwaves cook by vibrating water molecules. You will get a more uniform thaw by using the microwave. I suggest thawing them in the microwave, and then finishing them with the stove.

Answer 4

Why are your potatoes frozen?
oh.
Ummm, bake them. Or cook them in oil (2-3 inches), in a sauce pot on the stovetop, med-hi heat, and drop them in when the oil is hot. I don't think you need to thaw them but they will splatter a bit when they are frozen, so stand back. And cook them to your liking. I don't like bake mine, they are kind of dry and gross. But I think they make frozen fries specifically for baking.

Answer 5

yeah its always better to cook or warm things up not in the microwave because microwaves, like practically everything else on this earth, can give you cancer.

Answer 6

Answer 7

generally yes -- they are discovering rapid heating in microwaves morphs their nutritional value too.
