Term Definition
Arcing Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is
caused by:
■ metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
■ foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like
antennas).
■ metal such os twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.
■ recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.
Covering Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce
cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper
allows excess steam to escape.
Shieiding In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to
prevent over-browning. When microwaving, you use small strips
of foil to shield thin ports, such os the tips of wings and legs on
poultry, which would cook before larger ports.
Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods such os roosts or cokes
ore allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is
especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a
microwaved coke is not placed on a cooling rock.
Venting After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by
turning bock one corner so excess steam con escape.
