A high setting (10) will cook faster but may need
additional attention such as frequent stirring, rotating

on HIGH (Power Level 10). A lower setting will cook
more evenly and with less attention given to stirring
or rotating the food. Some foods may have better
flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower
settings is used. You may wish to use a lower power

a microwave oven.
Use the Time Defrost setting to quickly thaw foods
such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen

GLOSSARY OF MICROWAVE
TE~S
When adapting recipes for the microwave, it is
best to start with a familiar recipe. Knowing how
the food should look and taste will help when
adapting recipes for microwaving. Foods that
require browning or crisp, dry surfaces
will
cook better in regular ovens.
●
Moist foods, such as vegetables, fruits, poultry and
seafood, microwave well.
●
Rich foods, such as bar cookies, moist cakes and
candies, are suitable for microwaving because of
their
high
fat and
●
Reduce regular oven cooking times by 1/2 to
sugar
content.
1/3. Check food after minimum time to avoid
overcooking.
●
Small amounts of butter or oil can be used for
flavoring, but are not needed to prevent sticking.
●
Seasonings may need to be reduced. Salt meats and
vegetables after cooking.
Covering. In both
reguiar baking
and microwave
cooking, covers hold in moisture, allow for more
even heating and reduce cooking time. In regular
ovens, partial covering allows excess steam to escape,
Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper
serves the same purpose when microwaving.
Venting. After covering a dish with plastic wrap,
you vent
the
plastic wrap by turning back 1 comer
so excess steam can escape.
Arranging Food in Oven. When baking in regular
ovens, you position foods, such as cake layers or
potatoes, so hot air can flow around them. When
microwaving, you arrange foods in a ring, so that
all sides are exposed to microwave energy.
Stirring. In range-top cooking, you stir foods up from
the bottom to heat them evenly. When microwaving,
you stir cooked portions from the outside to the center.
Foods that require constant stirring will need only
occasional stirring when microwaving.
Turning Over.
In range-top cooking, you turn over
foods, such as hamburgers, so both sides can directly
contact the hot pan. When microwaving, turning is
often needed
during
defrosting or when cooking
certain foods, such as frozen hamburgers.
S@nding
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.
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.
Arcing. Sparks caused by too much metal in the
microwave oven or metal touching the side of the
oven or foil that is not molded to food.
Prick Foods to Release Pressure. Steam builds up
pressure in foods that are tightly covered by a skin or
membrane. Prick foods, such as potatoes (as you do
before regular oven cooking), egg yolks and chicken
livers, to prevent bursting.
Rotating. Occasionally, repositioning a dish in the
oven helps food cook more evenly. To rotate 1/2 turn,
turn
the
dish until the side that was to
oven is to the front. To rotate 1/4 turn, turn
the
back of the
the
dish
until the side that was to the back of the oven is to
the side.
Basic Microwave
Density of Food.
Guidelhes
In both regular
baking
and
microwave cooking, dense foods, such as potatoes,
take longer
to cook than light, porous foods, such as
rolls, bread or pieces of cake.
Round Shapes.
to about 1 inch from top, bottom
Since microwaves penetrate foods
and
sides, round
shapes and rings cook more evenly. Comers receive
more energy and may overcook. This may
dso
happen when cooking in a regular oven.
Delicacy.
Foods with a delicate texture, such as
custards, are best cooked at lower power settings
to avoid toughening.
Natural Moisture
of food affects how it cooks. Very
moist foods cook evenly because microwave energy
is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven
in moisture should be covered or allowed to stand
so it heats evenly.
24
Piece Size.
Small pieces cook faster than
large
ones,
Pieces that are similar in size and shape cook more
evenly. With large pieces of food, reduce the power
setting for even cooking.
Shape of Food. ln both types of cooking, thin areas
cook faster than thick areas. This can be controlled in
microwaving by placing thick pieces near the outside
edge
and
thin pieces in the center.
