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.
The instructions given in recipes, for example: to elevate, stir are to be thought of as the minimum steps
recommended. If the food seems to be cooking unevenly, simply make the necessary adjustments you think
appropriate to correct the problem.
Factors affecting microwave cooking times
Many factors affect cooking times. The temperature of ingredients used in a recipe makes a big difference in cooking
times. For example, a cake made with ice-cold butter, milk, and eggs will take considerably longer to bake than one
made with ingredients that are at room temperature.
All of the recipes in this user guide give a range of cooking times. In general, food remains undercooked at the lower
end of the time range, and you may sometimes want to cook food beyond the maximum time given, according to
personal preference. Some of the recipes, particularly those for bread, cake, and custards, recommend that food be
removed from the microwave when they are slightly undercooked. This is not a mistake. When allowed to stand,
usually covered, these foods will continue to cook outside of the microwave as the heat trapped within the outer
portions of the food gradually travels inward. If the food is left in the microwave until it is cooked all the way through,
the outer portions will become overcooked or even burnt.
Density of food
Light, porous food such as cakes and breads cook more quickly than heavy, dense foods such as roasts and casseroles.
Care must be taken when microwaving porous food so that the outer edges do not become dry and brittle.
Height of food
The upper portion of large foods such as roasts, will cook more quickly than the lower portion. Therefore, it is wise to
turn the roasts several during cooking.
Moisture content of food
Since the heat generated from microwaves causes moisture to evaporate, relatively dry food such as roasts and some
vegetables must be either sprinkled with water prior to cooking or covered to retain moisture.
