Cooking for

Covering.In bothconventionaland microwavecooking, covers

hold in moisture and speed heating. Conventionally,partial

covering allows excess steam to escape. Ventingplastic wrap or covering with waxpaper serves the same purpose when microwaving.

ArrangingonOvenShelf.In conventionalbaking, youposition

foods, such as tomatoes or potatoes, so that hot air can flow around

them. When microwaving,youarrange foods in a ring, so that all sides are exposed to microwaveenergy.

Stirring.In range-top cooking, you stir foods up from the bottom

to help them heat evenly.When microwavingyou stir cooked portions from the outside to the center. Foods which require constant stirring conventionally will need only occasional stirring.

‘fMningOver.In range-top cooking you turn over foods such as

hamburgers, so both sides can directly contact hot pan. When microwaving, turning is often needed when cooking foods such a$

hamburgers from the frozen states.

StandingTime.In conventionalcooking, foodssuch as roasts or

cakes are allowedto standto finish cooking or set. Standing time is especially important in microwavecooking. Notethat the microwavedcake is not placed on a cooling rack.

Shielding. In a conventional ovenyou shield chicken breasts or baked foods toprevent overbrowning.When microwaving,you mayuse small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wingsand legs on poultry, which would cook before larger parts.

PierceFoodstoReleasePressure.Steam builds up pressure in

foodswhich are tightly covered bya skin or membrane. Pierce potatoes (as youdo conventionally), egg yolksand chicken livers to preventbursting.

Rotating.Occasionally, repositioning a dish in the ovenhelps food

cookevenly.To rotate 1/2turn, turn the dish untilthe side which was to theback of the ovenis to the front. Torotate 1/4turn, turn the dish until the side which was to the back of the ovenis to the side.
