How to Microwave Couscous

Step away from the stove. In the microwave, these tiny grains quickly transform into light, tender pearls that form the perfect base for any meal. It’s faster than cooking on the stovetop, and Anyday’s unique silicone-lined lid locks in the moisture, keeping your couscous tender and warm. Make a quick dish by adding flavor-packed ingredients like fresh herbs, garlic, marinated tomatoes, and more!

Important note: this recipe is for Moroccan couscous, not pearled couscous! Moroccan style is made up of tiny grains, while pearled couscous is much larger, around the size of peppercorns. For more instructions on cooking pearled couscous, see more information at the bottom of this page.

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