Microwave Cooking

Microwave Cooking

To speed cooking and promote even heating, use the following techniques: 

• Stir food during cooking to bring the heated outside parts to the center 
• Turn food over when microwaving small items, like hamburgers, or when defrosting 
• Rearrange foods or individual items during cooking to promote even heating 
• Allow standing time to complete the cooking of roasts and baked products 
• Coffee filters make a great shield against splatters.  No more melting of plastic or possible leaching of chemicals into your food 
• Cover foods to hold in moisture and speed cooking 
• Arrange foods in a ring or circular shape to allow maximum exposure to micr9owave energy.  Place tender or thin parts in the center and thicker parts toward the outside 
• Rotate or move food a quarter or half turn during cooking to allow food that cooks quickly to cook evenly 
• Select foods or pieces of the same size and shape because small items cook faster than larger 
• Food at refrigerator temperature takes longer to cook than food at room temperature 
• Dense foods take more time to heat than light or porous food
