Microwave terms.
18
Arcing Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven . Arcing is caused by:
n
metal or foil touching the side of the oven .
n
foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas) .
n
metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.
n
recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces .
Covering Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time . venting plastic wrap
or covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.
Shielding In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When
microwaving, you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs
on poultry, which would cook before larger parts .
Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking
or to set . Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking . Note that a microwaved cake
is not placed on a cooling rack .
Venting After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so
excess steam can escape.
