GETTING THE BEST

RESULTS FROM YOUR

MICROWAVE OVEN

Keep an eye on things. The instructions in this book have

been formulated with great care, but your success in preparing food depends, of course, on how much attention you pay to the food as it cooks, Always watch your food while

it cooks, Your microwave oven is equipped with a light that turns on

automatically when the oven is in operation so that you can see inside and check the progress of your recipe, Directions given in recipes to elevate, stir, and the like should be thought of as the minimum steps

recommended, if the food seems to be cooking unevenly, simply make

the necessary adjustments you think appropriate to correct the problem,

Factors affecting cooking times. Many factors affect cooking times, The temperature of ingredients used in a recipe makes a big difference in cooking times, For example, a cake made with ice-cold butter, milk, and eggs will take considerably longer to bake than one made with ingredients that are at room temperature, All of the recipes in this book give a range of cooking times, in general, you wiii

find that the food remains under-

cooked at the lower end of the time range, and you may sometimes want

to cook your food beyond the maxi- mum time given, according to personal preference, The governing philosophy of this book is that it is best for a recipe to be conservative in giving cooking times, While under- cooked food may always be cooked a bit more, overcooked food is ruined for good, Some recipes, particularly those for bread, cakes, and custard,

recommend that food be removed from the oven when they are slightly

undercooked, This is not a mistake, When allowed to stand, usually

covered, these foods will continue to cook outside of the oven as the heat

trapped within the outer portions of the foods gradually travels inward, if

the foods are left in the oven until they are cooked all the way through,

the outer portions will become over- cooked or even burned,

As you gain experience in using your microwave oven, you will become

increasingly skillful in estimating both cooking and standing times for vari- ous foods,

SPECIAL TECHNIQUES JN MICROWAVE

COOKING

Browning: Meats and poultry that are cooked fifteen minutes or longer will brown lightly in their own fat,

Foods that are cooked for a shorter period of time may be brushed

with a browning sauce to achieve an appetizing color, The most com- monly used browning sauces are Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and barbecue sauce, Since relatively small amounts of browning sauces are added to foods, the original flavor of recipes is not altered,

Covering: A cover traps heat and steam and causes food to cook more

quickly, You may either use a lid or microwave cling-film with a corner folded back to prevent splitting,

l and Operation (contd)

Covering with waxed paper: Waxed paper effectiveUy prevents spattering and heUps food retain some heat.

Since it makes a Uoosercover than a Hd or cling-film, it allows the food to

dry out sHghtUy. Wrapping in waxed paper or paper

towel: Sandwiches and many other foods containing prebaked bread

shouUd be wrapped prior to microwaving to prevent drying out.

Arranging and spacing: UndividuaU foods such as baked potatoes, small cakes, and hors d'oeuvres wHUheat more evenUyif pUacedin the oven and equaUdistance apart, preferaMy in a circular pattern. Never stack foods on top of one another.

Stirring: Stirring is one of the most important of all microwaving tech-

niques, in conventional cooking, foods are stirred for the purpose of

blending. Microwaved foods, how- ever, are stirred in order to spread

and redistribute heat. Always stir from the outside towards the center

as the outside food heats first. Turning over: Large, tall foods such

as roasts and whoUechickens should be turned so that the top and bottom

will cook evenly. It is also a good idea to turn cutup chicken and chops.

PJacing thicker portions near the edge: Since microwaves are attract=

ed to the outside portion of foods, it makes sense to place thicker por=

tions of meat, poultry and fish to the outer edge of the baking dish. This

way, thicker portions will receive the most microwave energy and the

foods will cook evenly. Elevating: Thick or dense foods are

often elevated so that microwaves can be absorbed by the underside

and center of the foods. Piercing: Foods enclosed in a shell,

skin, or membrane are likely to burst in the oven unless they are pierced

prior to cooking. Such foods include both yolks and whites of eggs, clams

and oysters, and many whole vegeta- bles and fruits.

Testing if cooked: Because foods cook so quickly in a microwave oven, it is necessary to test food frequently.

Some foods are left in the microwave until completely cooked, but most

foods, including meats and poultry, are removed from the oven while still

slightly undercooked and allowed to finish cooking during standing time. The internal temperature of foods will rise between 5° F (3° C) and 15° F (8° C) during standing time.

Standing time: Foods are often allowed to stand for 3 to 10 minutes

after being removed from the microwave oven. Usually the foods are

covered during standing time to retain heat unless they are supposed to be

dry in texture (some cakes and bis- cuits, for example). Standing allows

foods to finish cooking and also helps flavors to blend and develop.

HOW FOOD CHARACTERUSTUCS AFFECT tVlJCF OWAVE COOKING

Density of foods: Light, porous food like cakes and breads cook more

quickly than heavy, dense foods such as roasts and casseroles. You must

take care when microwaving porous foods that the outer edges do not become dry and brittle.

Height of foods: The upper portion of tall foods, particularly roasts, will cook more quickly than the lower por-

tion. Therefore, it is wise to turn tall foods during cooking, sometimes

several times. Moisture content of foods: Since

the heat generated from microwaves tends to evaporate moisture, relatively dry foods such as roasts and some vegetables should either be sprinkled with water prior to cooking or covered

to retain moisture.

Bone and fat content of foods: Bones conduct heat and fat cooks

more quickly than meat. Therefore, care must be taken when cooking bony or fatty cuts of meat that the meats do not cook unevenly and do

not become overcooked. NOTE: it is a common misconception

that microwaves cook food from the inside out. This comes from heating

filled pastries with a high sugar content, like jelly doughnuts. The

pastry is cool but the filling is very hot! If you cook a chicken or a roast,

you'll see the outside is cooked first. Shape of foods: Microwaves pene-

trate only about 1 inch (2.5 cm) into foods; the interior portion of thick

foods is cooked as the heat generated on the outside travels

inward. In other words, only the outer edge of any food is actually cooked by microwave energy; the rest is cooked by conduction.

It follows then that the worst possible shape for a food that is to be

microwaved is a thick cube. The corners will burn long before the cen-

ter is even warm. Round, thin, and ring shaped foods cook most suc- cessfully in the microwave.

Quantity of foods: The number of microwaves in your oven remains constant regardless of how much food is being cooked. Therefore, the more food you place in the oven, the longer the cooking time. Remember to decrease cooking times by at least one-third when halving a recipe.

i CAUTION

To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, do not use stoneware, aluminum foil, metal utensils, or metal trimmed utensils in the oven,

MICROWAVE-SAFE

UTENSILS

Never use metal or metal-trimmed utensils in your microwave oven:

Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce off any metal object in the oven and cause arcing, an alarming phenomenon that resem- bles lightning. Most heat-resistant non-metallic cooking utensils are safe for use in your microwave oven. However, some may contain materi-

als that render them unsuitable as microwave cookware. If you have any

doubts about a particular utensil, there is a simple way to find out if it can be used in your microwave oven.

Testing utensils for microwave use: Place the utensil in question next to a glass bowl filled with water

in the microwave oven. Microwave at power HIGH for 1 minute. If the water

heats up but the utensil remains cool to the touch, the utensil is

microwave-safe. However, if the water does not change temperature

but the utensil becomes warm, microwaves are being absorbed by

the utensil and it is not safe for use in the microwave oven. You probably

have many items on hand in your kitchen that can be used as cooking equipment in your microwave oven.

Just read through the following checklist.

Dinner plates: Many kinds of dinnerware are microwave-safe.

If in doubt, consult the manu- facturer's literature or perform the microwave test, above.

2, Glassware: Glassware that is

heat-resistant is microwave- safe. This includes all brands of

oventempered glass cookware. However, do not use delicate glassware, such as tumblers or wine glasses, as these might

shatter as the food warms.

3. Paper: Paper plates and con- tainers are convenient and safe

to use in your microwave oven, provided the cooking time is

short and foods to be cooked are low in fat and moisture.

Paper towels are also very useful for wrapping foods and for lining baking trays in which greasy foods, such as bacon, are cooked. In general, avoid colored paper products as the color may run.

4. Plastic storage containers: These can be used to hold foods

that are to be quickly reheated. However, they should not be

used to hold foods that will need considerable time in the oven as

hot foods will eventually warp or melt plastic containers.

5. Plastic cooking bags: These are microwave-safe provided they are specially made for cooking. However, be sure to make a slit in the bag so that steam can escape. Never use ordinary plastic bags for cooking in your microwave oven, as they will melt and rupture.

6. Plastic microwave cookware: A variety of shapes and sizes of

microwave cookware is avail- able. For the most part, you can

probably cook with items you already have on hand rather than investing in new kitchen equipment.

7. Pottery, stoneware, and ceramic: Containers made of

these materials are usually fine for use in your microwave oven, but they should be tested to be

sure.
