hitting the cool oven surface .

the oven cavity . The holes are made to allow light
to pass through . They do not let microwave energy
pass through .

* A : When baking or poaching eggs , the yolk may pop
due to steam build - up inside the yolk membrane .
To prevent this , simply pierce the yolk with a
toothpick before cooking . Never cook eggs
without piercing their shells .

* A : Standing time is very important .
With microwave cooking , the heat is in the food ,
not in the oven . Many foods build up enough
internal heat to allow the cooking process to
continue
, even after the food is removed from the
oven . Standing time for joints of meat , large
vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to cook
completely
, without overcooking the outside .
** Q Q :: W Wh haatt ddo oeess ““ssttaan nddiin ngg ttiim mee”” m meeaan n? ?
* A : “Standing time” means that food should be
removed from the oven and covered for additional
time to allow it to finish cooking
. This frees up the
oven for other cooking .

* A : Check your cooking guide again , to make sure
you’ve followed directions exactly ; and to see
what might cause variations in cooking time
.
Cooking guide times and heat settings are
suggestions
, to help prevent over - cooking ... the
most common problem in getting used to a
microwave oven
.
Variations in the size , shape and weights and
dimensions could require longer cooking time . Use
your own judgement along with the cooking guide
suggestions to check whether the food has been
properly cooked just as you would do with a
conventional cooker
.
