Term			Definition
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.
