For those wondering about the “Micro Tip”, here goes what I found: Prick eggplant several times with a fork, and set on two layers of paper toweling. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power. Remove from oven. When it is cool enough to handle, cut eggplant in half lengthwise. Use a small knife to gently scrape flesh away from skin. Adjust time according to weight of whole eggplant (High/Low Power Microwave) ½ lb (8min/11min) 1 lb (12min/16min) 1½ lb (15/20min) 2lb (19/26min) 2½ lb (22/35min)
Just what I needed for hot weather when I'm not going to turn on my oven. I had two 1-lb.eggplants so I did the recipe twice. I added an additional T lemon juice to each batch.
