Microwave Terms

Term	Definition
Arcing	Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is
	caused by:
	• the metal shelf being installed incorrectly and touching the
	microwave walls.
	• metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
	• foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like
	antennas).
	• metal such as twist ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.
	• recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.
Covering	Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce
	cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper
	allows excess steam to escape.
Shielding	In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to
	prevent over-browning. When microwaving, you use small strips
	of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on
	poultry, which would cook before larger parts.
Standing Time	When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes
	are allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is
	especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved
	cake is not placed on a cooling rack.
Venting	After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by
	turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.
