COOKING TECHNIQUES (continued)
SHIELDING

Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking.

Areas that need shielding include poultry wing tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square
baking dishes.

Use only small amounts of aluminum foil, as larger amounts may damage your microwave.
TURNING

Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy.

This is especially important when cooking large foods such as roasts.
STANDING

Foods cooked in a microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after heating
stops.

Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as cakes and whole vegetables.

Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas.

All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete.

When heating baby food, stir well after removing from microwave and test temperature before serving.
ADDING MOISTURE

Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules.

Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly.

Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.
