Food characteristics & microwave cooking Keeping an eye on things The recipes in the book have been formulated with great care, but success in preparing them depends on how much attention you pay to the food as it cooks. The microwave is equipped with a light that turns on automatically when it is in operation so that you can see inside and check the progress of food.
Bone and fat content of food As bones conduct heat and fat cooks more quickly than meat. Care must be taken when cooking bony or fatty cuts of meat in order to prevent unevenly or overcooked meat. Quantity of food The number of microwaves in the microwave remains constant regardless of how much food is being cooked.
Arranging and spacing Individual foods such as baked potatoes, small cakes and hors d’oeuvres will heat more evenly if placed in the microwave an equal distance apart, preferably in a circular pattern. Never stack foods on top of one another. Stirring Stirring is one of the most important of all microwaving techniques.
Testing the food to check if it is cooked As food cooks so quickly in the microwave, it is often necessary to test it frequently. Some food types are left in the microwave until completely cooked, but most food types, including meats and poultry, are removed from the microwave while still slightly undercooked and allowed to fi...
