Term
Definition
Arcing
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven.
Arcing is caused by:
Covering
Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time.
Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.
Shielding
In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-
browning.
When microwaving, 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.
Standing Time
When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to
stand to finish cooking or to set.
Standing time is especially important in micro-
wave cooking.
Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.
Venting
After covering a dish with plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by turning back one
corner so excess steam can escape.
