Arcing

 

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

 

 

• the temperature probe staying in the oven but not inserted in the food.

 

 

• 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.
