antennas).

Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce
c{x&ing time. Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper
allows excess steam to escape.
[n a regtflar oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked fo{*Is to
prevent over-browning. When microwaving, you use small suilas
of toil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on
poultry, which would c_)k befi)re larger parks.
When you cook with regular ovens, tbods such as ,-oasu or cakes
are allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is
especially important in microwave c_)king. Note that a
microwa,ed cake is not placed on a cooling t-ack.
