Fresh okra shines during late summer and early fall, and the microwave is one of the easiest ways to prepare it. Use an Anyday dish with the vented lid to ensure gentle steaming, which keeps okra tender, bright green, and never mushy. A splash of vinegar helps reduce the sliminess, bringing out the best in this underrated summer vegetable.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.
