ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
Arrange food carefully.
Place thickest
areas towards outside of dish.
Watch cooking time.
Cook for the shortest
amount of time indicated and add more as
needed. Severely overcooked food can
smoke or ignite.
Cover foods while cooking.
Check recipe
or cookbook for suggestions: paper towels,
wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid.
Covers prevent spattering and help foods
to cook evenly.
Shield with small flat pieces of
aluminum foil
any thin areas of meat or
poultry to prevent overcooking before
dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
(See page 13 for details.)
Stir foods from outside to center
of dish
once or twice during cooking, if possible.
Turn foods over once during microwaving
to speed cooking of such foods as chicken
and hamburgers. Large items like roasts
must be turned over at least once.
Rearrange foods
such as meatballs
halfway through cooking both from top to
bottom and from the center of the dish to
the outside.
Add standing time.
Remove food from
oven and stir, if possible. Cover for standing
time which allows the food to finish
cooking without overcooking.
Check for doneness.
Look for signs
indicating that cooking temperatures have
been reached.
