Q. Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dry after cooking?

•Eggs continue cooking during standing time.

Q. What is wrong when three potatoes bake thoroughly and the fourth one is still not cooked?

A. The fourth potato may be slightly heavier than the others and should be cooked ,30 to 60 seconds longer.

Remember to allow space around each potato when bakinq. Also, for more even cooking, put potatoes in a circle.

Q. Why do baked apples sometimes burst during cooking?

A. The peeling has not been removed from the top half of each apple to allow for expansion of the interior of the

apple during cooking. As in regular cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands during the cooking process.

Q How are boil-overs avoided?

A.When cooking foods that tend to boil over, use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If you open the oven door or touch STOP, the food will stop boiling. (Remember to touch START again after closing the door to

restart the cooking cycle.)

Q. Why is a standing time recommended after microwave cooking is over?

A. Standing time is recommended after microwave cooking is over. This is to allow foods to continue cooking

evenly throughout for a few moments after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle. The amount of

standing time depends upon the density of the food.
