TIME COOKING - APPETIZERS AND RICE
CONVERTING RECIPES •
Most hot appetizers adapt well to
microwave cooking, the exception
being those wrapped in pastry. Pastry
requires the hot environment of the
conventional oven to become crisp.
• Toppings for canapes can be made
ahead and then placed on bread or
crackers just before heating.
This guarantees crispness.
Cover appetizers or dips only when
called for by a recipe. Use casserole
lids, wax paper, plastic wrap, or
paper towel.
Appetizers and dips that contain
cheese, mayonnaise and other
delicate ingredients are usually
heated on power level 1. A higher
setting might cause separation or
drying.
