Microwave Terms

Term		Definition

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