Food

Question

What is wrong when baked foods have a
hard, dry, brown spot?

Why do eggs sometimes pop?

Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a 
little dry after cooking?

Is it possible to pop popcorn in a 
microwave oven?

Why do baked apples sometimes burst 
during cooking?

Why do baked potatoes sometimes 
burn during cooking?

Why is a standing time recommended
after microwave cooking time is over?

Why is additional time required for 
cooking food stored in the refrigerator?

A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the cooking
or reheating time.

When baking, frying, 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 wooden toothpick before cooking. 

CAUTION:

Never microwave eggs in the shell.

Eggs will dry out when they are overcooked, even if the same
recipe is used each time. The cooking time may need to be varied
for one of these reasons:

ţ

Eggs vary in size.

ţ

Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator 
temperature another time.

ţ

Eggs continue cooking during standing time.

Yes, if using one of the two methods described below:
(1) microwave-popping devices designed specifically for microwave

cooking

(2) prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that is made 

for specific times and power output needed

Follow exact directions given by each manufacturer for 
its popcorn popping product and do not leave the oven 
unattended while the corn is being popped. If corn fails 
to pop after the suggested time, discontinue cooking.
Overcooking could result in an oven fire.
CAUTION:

ţ

Never use a brown paper bag for popping corn or attempt to
pop leftover kernels.

The peel has not been removed from the top half of each apple to
allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As in
conventional cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands
during the cooking process.

If the cooking time is too long, fire could result. At the end of the 
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm. 

CAUTION: Do not overcook.

Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few 
minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle. The
amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods.

As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects
total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a
refrigerator than for food at room temperature.
