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.
