Arcing

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

 

 

■ 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.
