Microwave Cooking Canning Risks and Safe blanching tips
Kansas State University specialist Jean Carlson warns against using microwaves to can jars and notes many ovens cannot produce safe canned foods. She describes safe blanching via four cups of vegetables in a covered glass casserole on high power, with specific times for asparagus broccoli corn beans peas snow peas and zucchini, followed by quick cooling. Smaller quantities require less time, and microwaves can be used for small herb quantities and some preserves, but many manufacturers oppose such uses.
