Microwave
terms.
Arcing
Arcing
is the microwave
term for sparks in
the oven. Arcing
is caused
by:
• 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.
• Plates or dishes with a metallic
trim or
glaze with a metallic
sheen.
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
Standing
Time
Venting
30
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.
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.
After
covering
a dish with plastic
wrap, you
vent the plastic wrap by turning
back one
corner
so excess steam can escape.
