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.

STANDING TIME

When you cook with regular ovens, foods such
as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking
or to set.

Standing time is especially important in microwave
cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on a
cooling rack.

VENTING

After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the
plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam
can escape.

SHIELDING

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 parts, such as
the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would cook
before larger parts.
