.

Why do baked apples sometimes
burst during cooking?
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.
Why do baked potatoes
sometimes burn during cooking?
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.
Why is additional time required for
cooking food stored in the
refrigerator?
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.
