About Microwave Cooking • Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish. • Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite. • Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly. • Shield any thin areas of meat or poultry with small flat pieces of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly. • Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible. • Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods, as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once. • Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside. • Add standing time. Remove food from microwave oven and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking. • Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached. Doneness signs include: - Food steams throughout, not just at edge. - Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch. - Poultry thigh joints move easily. - Meat and poultry show no pinkness. - Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. 13 E
