Question:

How long to cook a yam in a microwave oven?


Answers: It all depends on the size of that yam. Large: 4 min. Med: 3 min. Small: 2 min.

DON'T FORGET TO PIERCE THAT YAM WITH A FORK BEFORE MICROWAVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... about a minute. A common mistake in cooking a potato or yam is to run the oven on its highest setting until the tuber is cooked. However, a typical potato contains only about four ounces of water. It is much more energy efficient to heat the potato on high for two minutes, then heat it on a setting of 2 for six more minutes, than it is to heat it on high for eight minutes. Not only will that save energy, but it will prolong the life of the oven, and the potato will not be overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside.
