MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES

Size. Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed cooking, cut pieces smaller than 5 cm (2 inches), so microwave can penetrate to the center from all sides. For even cooking, make all the pieces the same size.

Shape. Foods irregular in shape, like fish or chicken breasts, take longer to cook in the thicker parts. To help them cook evenly, place the thickest parts to the outside of the dish, where they will receive more energy.

Starting temperature. Frozen or refrigerated food takes longer to heat than food at room temperature. Moisture Content. Microwaves are attracted by moisture. Naturally moist foods microwave better than

dry ones. Add a minimum of liquid to moist foods, as excess water slows cooking. Prick foods with skins like those on potatoes or squash, so internal steam can escape.

Fat and Bone. Marbling within meat, or a thin, even layer of fat on a roast, speeds cooking. Large fatty areas or excess drippings in dish attract energy away from meat to slow cooking. Center bones do not affect cooking, but bone on the side of meat conducts heat to the areas next to it.

Density. The depth to which microwaves penetrate foods varies depending on their density. Porous foods, like ground beef or mashed potatoes, microwave faster than dense ones like steak or whole potatoes
