Microwave

Techniques for

of Food Characteristics on

Covering. In both conventional and microwave

cooking, covers hold in moisture and speed heating.

Conventionally, partial covering allows excess steam to

escape. Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper

serves the same purpose when microwaving.

Density of Food. In both conventional and microwave

cooking, dense foods, such as a potato, take longer to

cook or heat than light, porous foods, such as a piece of

cake, bread or a roll.

Round Shapes. Since microwaves penetrate foods to

about l-in. from top, bottom and sides, round shapes

and rings cook more evenly. Corners receive more

energy and may overcook. This may also happen when

cooking conventionally.

Arranging Food in Oven. In conventional baking, you

position foods, such as cake layers or potatoes, so that

hot air can flow around them. When microwaving, you

arrange foods in a ring, so that all sides are exposed to

microwave energy.

Delicacy. Foods with a delicate texture such as custards

are best cooked at lower power settings to avoid

toughening.

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

the bottom to help them heat evenly. When

microwaving, you stir cooked portions from the outside

Natural Moisture of food affects how it cooks. Very

moist foods cook evenly because microwave energy is

attracted to water molecules. Food uneven in moisture

should be covered or allowed to stand so heat can

disperse evenly.

to the center. Foods which require

stirring

conventionally will need only occasional stirring.

Turning Over. In range top cooking, you turn over

foods such as hamburgers, so both sides can directly

the hot pan. When microwaving, turning is often

needed during defrosting, or when cooking foods such

as hamburgers from the frozen

Size. Small pieces cook faster than large ones.

Pieces which are similar in size and shape cook more

evenly. With large pieces of food, reduce the power

setting for even cooking.

Time. In conventional cooking, foods such as

roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or

set. Standing time is especially important in microwave

cooking. Note that the microwaved cake is not placed on

a cooling rack.

Shape of Food. In both types of cooking, thin areas

cook faster than thick ones. This can be controlled in

microwaving by placing thick pieces near the outside

edge, and thin pieces in the center.

Shielding. In a conventional oven, you shield chicken

breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When

defrosting, you use small strips of foil to shield thin

parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry,

which would cook before larger parts were defrosted.

Starting Temperature. Foods taken from the freezer or

refrigerator take longer to cook than foods at room

temperature. Timings in our recipes are based on the

temperatures at which you normally store the foods.

Quantity of Food. In both types of cooking, small

amounts usually take less time than large ones. This is

most apparent in microwave cooking, where time is

directly related to the number of servings.

Prick Foods to Release

Steam builds up

pressure in foods which are tightly covered by a skin or

membrane. Prick potatoes (as you do conventionally),

egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent bursting.

Rotating. Occasionally, repositioning a dish in the oven

helps food cook evenly. To rotate 1/2 turn, turn the dish

until the side which was to the back of the oven is to the

front. To rotate 1/4 turn, turn the dish until the side

which was to the back of the oven is to the side.

If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make

sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

How to Adapt Conventional Recipes for Microwaving.

Since liquids do not evaporate when microwaved,

Before converting a conventional recipe for microwaving,

study it in terms of microwaving. Is it one of the many

foods which microwave well? Look for cooking

techniques which are similar to microwaving techniques,

such as covering, steaming or cooking in sauce or liquid.

If the food requires a crisp, fried crust or very dry

surface, you may prefer to cook it conventionally. Some

recipes may not be exactly the same when microwaved,

others will not need changing. (Moist, rich cakes,

candies and meat loaves are examples.)

reduce the amount in saucy casseroles. Add more

thickening to sauces and gravies. Reduce some

seasonings also; they will not lose intensity in short

microwaving times. Salt meats and vegetables after

cooking. If an ingredient takes longer to microwave than

others in the same dish, precook that ingredient before

adding to the others.

Heating or Reheating Guide

1. Directions below are for reheating already-cooked foods at

refrigerator or room temperature. Use microwave oven safe

containers.

3. Bubbling around edges of dish is normal, since center is last to

heat. Stir foods before serving.

4. Be sure foods are heated through before serving. Steaming or

bubbling around edges does not necessarily mean food is heated

throughout. As a general rule, hot foods produce an area warm to

the touch in center of underside of dish.

Cover most foods for fastest heating (see tips). Exceptions are rare

meats, some sandwiches, griddle foods like pancakes

and baked foods.

1. Food

in all-paper or plastic packages may be defrosted

without unwrapping. If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and

place food in cooking dish for defrosting.

3. Be sure large meats are completely defrosted (or, on roasts allow

extra microwaving time). Turkeys may be placed under running

water until giblets can be removed.

2. After first half of defrosting time, unwrap package and check

food. Turn food over, if necessary; break apart or separate food if

possible. On very large foods like turkey, some shielding of thin

wing or leg areas may be necessary.

4. When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in areas. If

still slightly icy, return to microwave oven very briefly, or let stand

a few minutes.

1. Always use microwave safe cookware, glass or plastic. Cook

most vegetables with tight cover to steam them. Exceptions are

potatoes cooked in their skins and watery vegetables which need

no water added for steam.

2. Do not salt tops of vegetables before microwaving. If desired, add

salt to water in dish before adding vegetables. Salt can sometimes

cause brown spots on vegetables during microwaving.

3. Cooking time for vegetables affects finished taste and texture.

Minimum time on guide gives fresh taste and crisp-tender texture.

For soft texture with well-developed flavor, cook maximum time

or longer.

Size of pieces affects cooking time. Large pieces generally take

longer than small uniform pieces.

Just as when cooking conventionally, vegetable mixtures should

have similar densities or degrees of firmness in order to cook

together successfully. Firm, crisp vegetables like carrots,

cauliflower and broccoli microwave together well. If microwaving

a firm vegetable with a soft one (carrots and peas, for example)

cut the carrots in julienne strips so they will cook as fast as the

peas. Or, start cooking larger carrot pieces first, and add peas

during last few minutes.

& Sauces

1. Because microwaved sauces evaporate less than on the range top,

they are thinner than conventionally cooked sauces made with the

same amount of thickening. Increase thickening by adding an

extra teaspoon to 1 tablespoon flour or cornstarch for each cup

of liquid.

2. Microwaved sauces do not need to be stirred constantly but most

should be whisked vigorously with wire whisk once or twice

while microwaving.

3. Vary basic white sauce (see page 23) by adding cheese, egg yolks,

cream or dry milk solids. Add flour with mayonnaise or wine.
