So, you are probably wondering how to get started with mug cooking… Fortunately, it is incredibly easy! For most of the recipes in this collection, you will only need an ordinary heat safe ceramic mug, and simple utensils. If you are unsure if your mug is heat safe, check for a stamp or marking on the bottom that indicates it can be placed in the microwave. Porcelain mugs work great, but you should check to make sure your mug is free of any chips or cracks that may weaken it when microwaving. Also, do not forget that you must never place metal of any kind inside the microwave, including aluminum or tinfoil. Check to make sure your mug does not have a decorative metallic rim, as this may cause sparks or smoking while cooking. A quick note about cooking times: as microwaves often have different levels of cooking power, you may occasionally discover that your microwave requires slightly more cooking time, or slightly less. The times provided in these recipes are our best estimates based on trial and error. However, because these recipes all involve very short cooking times, the risk of ruining your concoction is very low. If you find that your food is slightly underdone, return your mug to the microwave for short intervals until it is finished. The recipes in this collection cover many different types of cuisines and even dietary needs. While the most popular recipes for mug cooking are typically desserts, as cakes and brownies work exceptionally well in small microwaved containers, this collection also includes savory recipes for breakfasts, lunches and dinners, ranging from the most simple (just four ingredients!) to slightly more complex variations you can customize with your favorite flavors and toppings.
