Basic Microwave Guidelines

DensityofFood.

cooking,densefoods,such as potatoes,take longer to cook thanlight,porousfoods, such as rolls,bread or piecesofcake.

Round Shapes. Since

about one inch from top, bottom and sides. round shapes and rings cook more evenly. Corners receive more energy and may overcook.

when cookingconventionally. Delicacy.Foodswitha delicate texture,such as

custards.arebestcooked at lower power settingsto avoidtoughening.

NaturalMoistureof food affects how it cooks. Very moist foodscook evenly because microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moistureshouldbe covered or allowed to stand so heat cwldisperseevenl}?.

Piece Size. Small
