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.
