cooking Techniquesfor
Covering. In bothconventionalandmicrowavecooking,covers StandingTime.In conventionalcooking, foodssuch as roasts or
hold in moisture and speed heating. Conventionally,partial
coveringallowsexcess steam to escape. Ventingplastic wrap
or coveringwith waxpaper serves the same purposewhen
microwaving.
Arrangingonoven Shelf.In conventionalbaking,youposition
foods,such as tomatoes or potatoes, so that hot air can flow around
them. When microwaving,youarrange foodsinaring, so that all
sides are exposed to microwaveenergy.
Wirring.in range-topcooking, youstir foodsup from the bottom
to help them heat evenly.When microwavingyoustir cooked
portions from the outside to the center. Foodswhich require
cakes are allowedto standto finish cookingor set. Standingtime is
especially important in microwavecooking. Amicrowavedcake is
notplaced on acooling rack.
Shielding.In aconventional ovenyou shield chicken breasts or
bakedfoodsto prevent overbrowning.When microwaving,you
mayuse small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of
wingsand legs on poultry, which wouldcook before larger parts.
PierceFoodstoReleasePressure.Steam builds up pressure in
foodswhich are tightly coveredbyaskin or membrane. Pierce
potatoes (as youdo conventionally), eggyolksand chicken livers
to preventbursting.
~onstantstirring conventionally willneed only occasional stirring. Rotating.Occasionally, repositioning adish in the ovenhelps
Ihrning Over. In range-top cookingyou turn overfoods such as foodco~kevenly.Torotate-half aturn, turn the dish until the side
hamburgers, so bothsides can directly contact hot pan. When which wasto the back of the ovenis to the front. Torotate aquarter
