Food

Question

Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a

little dry after cooking?

Is it possible to pop popcorn in a

microwave oven?

Why do baked apples sometimes burst

during cooking?

Why do baked potatoes sometimes

burn during cooking?

Why is a standing time recommended

after microwave cooking time is over?

Why is additional time required for

cooking food stored in the refrigerator?

Eggs will dry out when they are overcooked, even if the same

recipe is used each time. The cooking time may need to be varied

for one of these reasons:

• Eggs vary in size.

• Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator

temperature another time.

• Eggs continue cooking during standing time.

Yes, if using one of the two methods described below:

(1) microwave-popping devices designed specifically for

microwave cooking

(2) prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that is made

for specific times and power output needed

Follow exact directions given by each manufacturer for
its popcorn popping product and do not leave the oven
unattended while the corn is being popped. If corn fails
to pop after the suggested time, discontinue cooking.
Overcooking could result in an oven fire.
CAUTION:

Never use a brown paper bag for popping corn or attempt
to pop leftover kernels.

Do not pop prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn
directly on the glass turntable. To avoid excessive heating
of the glass turntable, place the popcorn bag on a plate.

Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping slows to
2-3 seconds between pops.

Do not leave microwave unattended while popping corn.

Follow directions on bag.

The peel has not been removed from the top half of each apple to

allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As

in conventional cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands

during the cooking process.

If the cooking time is too long, fire could result. At the end of the

recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm.

CAUTION: Do not overcook.

Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few

minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle. The

amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods.

As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects

total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a

refrigerator than for food at room temperature.
