Cooking Hints

Cover foods for faster, more even heating. Glass lids,
plastic wrap, plate covers or other paper products may be
used. Do not seal. Instead, allow for steam-venting at all
times.
Pierce pouches, plastic wrap covers and all foods
with a thin skin or membrane, such as potatoes, squash,
tomatoes, eggs, etc. This prevents an eruption in the oven
and allows for expansion and/or the escape of steam.
Foods should be carefully arranged. For best results,
arrange food such as vegetables or casserole-type items
evenly around the edge of the plate with slightly less
depth in the center. The edges of food items should not
overlap or overhang the rim of the container. Cover meats
with gravy or au jus and moisten all dry foods other than
bread or pastry items.
Do not stack food or plated dishes in your oven.
Instead, when heating more than one serving or platters,
all plates should be placed at the same level in the oven,
with space between all containers.
