COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED)

SAUCES

Guide for Cooking Sauces

Sauces boil over rapidly, especially those that contain milk. As soon as the door is opened, cooking stops. If ingredients are not taken directly from the refrigerator, cooking time will be less than given in the recipe. Stir sauce quickly, about every 30 seconds to eliminate lumps. Be sure to use a container twice the size of the amount of liquid to prevent boiling over.

A wooden spoon may be left in the dish while sauce is cooking for easy stirring. If sauce is stirred slowly, cooking time may require about 15 seconds longer. If desired, a one-quart glass measure may be used to prepare some sauces.

SANDWICHES, INCLUDING HAMBURGERS AND HOT DOGS

Guide for Heating Sandwiches

Sandwiches heat very quickly because, being porous, they have a low density. Since the filling is usually more dense than the bread or rolls, the filling determines the heating time. Surprisingly, the filling will always be hotter than the bread feels. Care must be taken not to overcook as the bread will become tough. Use several thin slices of meat. Thin slices heat more quickly and are better than one thick slice. The slow heating thick slice often causes the bread to overcook before the meat is hot. Sandwiches may be placed on a paper plate, napkin or paper towel to be warmed. The sandwich should be covered with a microwave-safe paper towel. Remove wrapping immediately after warming. Already-baked frozen breads and rolls may be used for sandwiches. The filling, however, should be thawed first. Toasted bread is fine for sandwiches and provides a firm base. The toast is warmed only; no further browning occurs.
