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 P 10. A higt_er
setting might cause separation or
drying.
