COOKING GUIDE

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Amount of food

If you increase or decrease the amount of food you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will also change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a little more than half the original cooking time. Check for doneness and, if necessary, add more time in small increments.

Starting temperature of food

The lower the temperature of the food being put into the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook. Food at room temperature will be reheated more quickly than food at refrigerator temperature.

Composition of food

Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated faster than food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar will also reach a higher temperature than water in the cooking process.

The more dense the food, the longer it takes to heat. “Very dense” food like meat takes longer to reheat than lighter, more porous food like sponge cakes.

Size and shape

Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than larger pieces. Also, same-shaped pieces cook more evenly than different-shaped pieces.

With foods that have different thicknesses, the thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker parts. Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in the center of the dish.

Stirring, turning foods

Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly to the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the outer edges of the food.

Releasing pressure in foods

Several foods (for example: baked potatoes, sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build up under the membrane during cooking, causing the food to burst. To relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting, pierce these foods before cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.

Using standing time

Always allow food to stand after cooking. Stand- ing time after defrosting and cooking allows the temperature to evenly spread throughout the food, improving the cooking results.

The length of the standing time depends on how much food you are cooking and how dense it is. Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes you to remove the food from the oven and take it to the serving table. However, with larger, denser food, the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes.

Arranging food

For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You can do this in several ways:

If you are cooking several items of the same food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking.

When cooking foods of uneven shapes or thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the smaller or thinner area of the food towards the center of the dish where it will be heated last.

Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.

When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the skin – this prevents cracking.

Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing.

Covering food

Cover food to:

Reduce splattering

Shorten cooking times

Keep food moist

You can use any covering that lets microwaves pass through. See “Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven” for materials that microwaves will pass through. If you are using the Sensor function, be sure to vent.
