Basic Microwave Guidelines

DensityofFood.

In both conventional and microwave

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

Round Shapes. Since

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

This may also happen

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

pieces cook faster than large ones.

Pieces that are similar in size and shape cook more
evcnlj’. With large pieces of food. reduce the power
sctt in: t’OI-even cooking.

~hape of Food. in both types 0[ cooking. thin areas
