Cooking for
Covering.In both conventionaland microwavecooking, covers
hold in moisture and speed heating. Conventionally,partial
covering allows excess steam to escape. Ventingplastic wrap
or covering with waxpaper serves the same purpose when
microwaving.
ArrangingonOvenShelf.In conventional baking, youposition
foods, such as tomatoes or potatoes, so that hot air can flowaround
them. When microwaving,youarrange foods in aring, so that all
sides are exposed to microwaveenergy.
Stirring.In range-top cooking, you stir foods up from the bottom
to help them heat evenly.When microwavingyou stir cooked
portions from the outside to the center. Foods which require
constant stirring conventionally will need only occasional stirring.
‘fMningOver.In range-top cooking you turn over foods such as
hamburgers, so both sides can directly contact hot pan. When
microwaving, turning is often needed when cooking foods such a$
hamburgers from the frozen states.
StandingTime.In conventionalcooking, foodssuch as roasts or
cakes are allowedto stand to finish cooking or set. Standingtime
is especially important in microwavecooking. Notethat the
microwavedcake is not placed on acooling rack.
Shielding. In aconventionalovenyou shield chicken breasts or
baked foodsto prevent overbrowning. When microwaving,you
mayuse small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of
wingsand legs on poultry, which would cook before larger parts.
PierceFoodstoReleasePressure.Steam builds up pressure in
foodswhich are tightly covered by askin or membrane. Pierce
potatoes (as you do conventionally), egg yolksand chicken livers
to prevent bursting.
Rotating.Occasionally, repositioning adish in the ovenhelps food
cookevenly.Torotate 1/2turn, turn the dish untilthe side which was
to the back of the ovenis to the front. Torotate 1/4turn, turn the
dish until the side which was to the back of the ovenis to the side.
