(2.3 -27 m1 Bone and Fat Both bone and let aflect cooking, Bones may cause irregu- lar cocking. Meat next to the tips of bones may wercook while meet positioned under a large hone, such as a ham bone, may be undercooked. Large amounts at lat absorb microwave energy and the meat next to these areas may overcook. Density Porous, airy foods such as breads, cakes or rolls taloe less time to cook than heavy, dense foods such as potatoes and roasts, When reheating donuts or other loods with dMerent centers be very carelul. Certain loods have cenlers made with sugar, water or let and these centers attract microwaves (For ex, lolly donuts) When a jelly donut is heated, the jelly can become extremely hot while the exteri~ or remains warm to the touch. This could result in a burn ii the lood is not allowed to cool properly in the center. Quantity Two potatoes take longer to cook than one potato. As the quantity ol the food increases so does the cooking time. When cooking email amounts of Iood such as one or two potatoes, do not leave oven unattended. The moisture eon- tont in the load may decrease and alire could result. Shape Unilorm sizes heat more evenly. The thin end of a drumstick wIll cook more quickly than the meaty and. To compensate for irregular shapes, place thln parts toward the center of the dish and thick pieces toward the edge. Size Thln pieces cook more quickly than thick pieces. Starting Temperature Foods that are room temperature take less time to cook than il they are chltled or relrigerated or lrozen. -14. Foods with skins or membranes must be pierced, scored or have a strip ol skin peeled before cooking to allow steam to escape. Pierce whole egg yolks and whites, clams, oysters, chicken livers, whole potatoes and whole vegetables Whole apples or new potatoes should have a twinch strip of skin peeled bolero cooking. Score sausage and lrankiurters. Browning Foods will not have the same brown appearance as con- ventionally cooked loads or these foods which are cooked utilizing a browning feature. Meets and poultry may be coated with browning sauce, Worcestershire sauce. barbe- cue sauce or shake-on browning sauce. To use. combine browning sauce with melted butter or margarine; brush on before cooking For quick breads or mullins, brown sugar can be used in the recipe in place of granulated sugar. or the surlace can be sprinkled with dark spices belore bakingi Individual ioods, such as baked potatoes, cupcakes and appetizers, will cook more evenly ii placed in the wen equal distances apart When possflzle, arrange ioods in a circular pattern. Covering Aswlth conventional cooking, moisture evaporates during microwave cooking. Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. When using plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by ioldlng back part oi the plastic wrap (mm the edge oi the dish to allow steam to escape. Loosen or remove plastic wrap as recipe directs tor stand tirne.When removing plastic wrap covers, as well as any glass lidsv be careiul to remove them away irom you to avoid steam burns. Various degrees oi moisture retention are also obtained by using wax paper or paper towels. However. unless specified, a recipe is cooked covered. -15- Shielding Thin areas or meat and poultry cook more quickty than meaty portions. To prevent wercooiq'ng. these thin areas can be shield— ed with strips of aluminumiofl. Wooden toothpicks may be used to hold the toll in place. Timing A range in cookingtime is given in each recipe.The time range compensates for the uncontrollable dmerences in toad shapes. starting temperature and regional preterenca. Always cook load for the minimum cooking time given in a recipe and chedt tor doneness. lithe iood is undercooked. continue cooking. it is easi- er to add time to an undercooked producL Once the food is over- cooked, nothing can be done. Stirring Stirring is usually necessary during microwave cooking.
