● Seasonings may need to be reduced. Sdt meats snd

~v~ h both regular bting md microwave
cooking, covers hold in moisture, allow for more
even heating and tiuce cooking time. h regular
ovens, partial covering dews excess steam to escape.
Venting plastic wrap or mveri~ witb wax paper
serves the same purpose when microwaving.
Venting. *covering a dish witi plastic wrap,
you vent the plastic wrap by turning back 1 corner
so ex=s steam can escape.
~ Food in Ov- When btig in reguh
ovens, you position foods, such as cake layem or
pota-, so hot air can flow wund them When
microwaving, you -e foods in a ring, so that
dl sides= exposed to microwave en=.
Hty of Food. h both regular baking and
microwave mbg, dense foods, such as potatoes,
take longer to mk than light, porous foods, such as
rolls, bread or pi-s of cske.
Round Shapes. Since microwaves penetrate fto about 1 inch from top, bottom and sides, round
shapes md rings -k more evenly. Comers receive
more energy and may ovemook. This may dso
happen when cooking in a regular oven.
Neaey. Foods with a delicate texture, such ss
custards, are best cooked at lower power settings
to avoid toughening.
Natti Moi- of food affects how it inks. Very
moist foods cook evenly because microwave en-y
is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven
in moisture should be covered or allowed to stand
so it heats evenly.
Sm. k rangetop cooking, you stir foods up tim
the bottom to h- them evedy. When microwaving,
you stir inked portions from the outside to the center.
Foods that ~uire constant stirring wfll need ody
occasional stirring when microwaving.
- *. h mgetop -king, you turn over
foods, such ss hamburgers, so both sib a -y
mntact h hot pan. When microwaving, turning is
oh needed during &fros@ or when cooking
certain foods, such as fro= hamburgers.
S- Tima When you cook with reguk ovens,
foods such as roasts or c- m allowed to s~d to
ftish cooking or to set. Standing time is espectily
impomt in mimwave inking. Note that a
mimwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.
Shi_ h a regular oven, you shield chicken
tits or H foods to prevent over-bwning.
When microwaving, you use sdl stips of foil to
shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs
on poultry, which would cook before l~er p-.

psw in foods that are tightiy covered by a skin or
membrane. Prick foods, such as potatoes (as you do
before mgulm oven cooking), egg yok and chicken
livers, to ~vent bursting.
Ro_ *idly, repositioning a dish in the
oven helps food cook more evenly. To rotate 1~ turn,
turn the dish unti the side that was to the back of the
oven is to tie front. To tite 1/4 turn, turn the dish
until b side that wss to the back of the oven is to
the side.

Shape of Food. h both types of cooking, thincook faster than thick areas. This can be controlled in
microwaving by placing thick pieces near the outside

S- Temperatm Foods taken from the fi=
