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.
