Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you keep these
considerations in mind:
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the
outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the centre.
The microwave will turn off when you open the door to stir your food.
Arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward
the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place
delicate areas, such as asparagus tips, toward the centre of the turntable.
Shielding
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding
include poultry wing tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small
amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your microwave.
Turning
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is especially
important with large pieces of food such as roasts.
Standing
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes a er
heating stops. Let foods rest for a few minutes to complete cooking, especially foods such as cakes
and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the centre without overcooking
the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking
is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well at removal
and test the temperature before serving.
Adding Moisture
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be
covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food
to help it cook.
