TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING
BROWNING
Meat and poultry with high fat content that are cooked for 10 or 15minutes or longer will
brown lightly. Foods cooked a shorter time can be bushed with a browning agent, such as
Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or barbecue sauce.
COVERING
A covering traps heat and steam and cause the food to cook more quickly. Use a lid or
microwave-safe plastic wrap with one corner folded back to vent the excess steam. Lids
on glass casseroles can become hot during cooking. Handle carefully. Waxed paper will
prevent the food from splattering in the oven and help retain heat. When warming bread
items, use waxed paper, napkins, or paper towels. To absorb extra moisture, wrap
sandwiches and fatty foods in paper towels.
SPACING
Arrange individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cupcakes, and hors d’oeuvres in a
circle and at least 1 inch apart. This will help the food cook more evenly.
STIRRING
Stirring blends flavors and redistributes the heat in foods. Always stir from the outside
toward the center of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first.
TURNING
Large foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, should be turned so that the top and
bottom cook evenly. Also turn over chicken pieces and chops.
ARRANGEMENT
Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dish for more even cooking. Because
