TIME COOKING - APPETIZERS AND RICE
CONVERTING RECIPES
Most hot appetizers adapt well to
microwave cooking, the exception being
those wrapped in pastry. Pastry requires
the hot environment of the conventional
oven to become crisp.
• Toppings for canapés can be made
ahead and then placed on bread or
crackers just before heating.
This guarantees crispness.
Cover appetizers or dips only when
called for by a recipe. Use casserole
lids, wax paper, plastic wrap, or paper
towel.
Appetizers and dips that contain
cheese, mayonnaise and other
delicate ingredients are usually
heated on power level P 10. A higher
setting might cause separation or
drying.
