Microwave Adapting
Techniques for
Microwaving
of Food Characteristics on
Microwaving
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
to the center. Foods which require constant stirring
conventionally will need only occasional stirring.
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.
Turning Over. In range top cooking, you turn over
foods such as hamburgers, so both sides can directly
contact the hot pan. When microwaving, turning is often
needed during defrosting, or when cooking foods such
as hamburgers from the frozen state.
Piece 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.
Standing 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.
Temperature. Foods
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 Pressure. 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
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.

Convenience Food Guide
1. Most convenience foods can be reheated by microwave only, since
they are already cooked. Always use microwave safe containers
(glass or plastic). For foods needing browning or crisping,
conventional baking is recommended.
2. Remove food from foil containers over 3/4-in. high, and place in
microwave safe container.
3. Amounts can be increased. To cook multiple packages, add times
together. Check at minimum time,

Vegetables
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.
4.
Size of pieces affects cooking time. Large pieces generally take
longer than small uniform pieces.
5. 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 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
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.
