Microwave terms
Arcing Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the
oven. Arcing is caused by:
• the metal shelf being installed incorrectly and
touching the microwave walls.
• metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
• foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges
act like antennas).
• metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-
rimmed dishes.
• recycled paper towels containing small metal
pieces.
• the turntable ring support being installed
incorrectly.
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, 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.
