Turning Over: Larger sized food such as roasts and whole poultry should be turned over so that the top and bottom will cook evenly. It is also a good idea to turn over chicken pieces and chops.

Arrangement: Since dense foods cook more slowly in the microwave, it makes sense to place thicker portions of meat, poultry, fish and vegetables to the outer edge of the baking dish. This way, thicker portions will receive the most microwave energy and the food will cook evenly. Also, arrange food in a single layer rather than stacking to permit more even cooking.

Shielding: Strips of aluminum foil, which block microwaves, are sometimes placed over the corners or edges of square and rectangu- lar shaped pans to prevent those portions from overcooking. Irregular food shapes such as poultry legs and wings tips can be shielded with foil to keep them from overcooking. Keep foil at least one inch away from the oven walls.

Piercing: To prevent bursting, food enclosed in a shell, skin or membrane must be pierced prior to cooking. Such foods include both the yolks and whites of eggs, hot dogs, clams, oysters, and many whole vegetables, such as potatoes and squash.

Testing for Doneness: Because foods cook so quickly in a microwave oven, it is necessary to test for doneness frequently.

Check recipes for specific visual doneness information.

Standing Time: Food is often allowed to stand for 2 to 10 minutes after being removed from the microwave oven. Usually the food is covered during standing time to retain heat. Most foods are removed from the oven while still slightly undercooked, and finish cooking during standing time. The internal temperature of food will rise about 10’ during standing time.
