Bone end Fat: Both bone and fat affectcooking.Bones"may cause irregularcooking. Meet nextto the tips of bonesmay ovemookwhile moat positionedunder a large bone,such as e ham bone, may be undercooked.Large amountsof fat absorb microwave energy and the meat next to theseames may overcook.

Quentity: Two potatoes take longer to cook than one pota-to. As the quantityof the food increasesso does the cook-ingtime.

When cooking small amounts of food such as one or twopotatoes, do net leave oven unettanded.The moisture con-tent in the food may decrease and e fire could result.

Denalty: Porous,airy foods such as breeds, cakes or milstake lesstime to cook then heavy,dense foods such aspotatoes and roasts.

Shape: Uniform sizes heat more evenly.The thin end of adrumstickwill cook more quickly than the moety end.Tocornpsnsatefor irregularshapes, place thin parts toward thecanter of the dish and thick perts toward the edge.

Size: Thin pieces cook more quicklythan thick pieces.

Starting Temperature: Foods that are room temperaturetake less time to cook than if they are refrigeratortompera-ture or frozen.

Spacing: Individualfoods,such as baked potatoes,cupcakesand appedzere, will cook more evenly if placedin the ovenequal distancesapart. When possible,arrange foodsin acircularpattem.

Browning: Foodswillnot have the same brownappearanceas conventionally cooked foods.Meats ond psultnj may becoated withbrowningsauce, Worcestershiresauce, barbecuesauce orshake-on browningsauca.To use,combinebrowningsauce with melted butteror margadne;brushonbeforecooking.

Piercing: Foodswith skinsor momb_ mustbe pierced,scoredor have e stdp of sldnpeeled before cookingto allowsteam to escape. Piercewhole egg yolks and whites, clams,oysters,chickenlivers,scallops,whole potatoesand wholevegetables.Whole apples or new potatoesshouldhave el-inch stripof skin peeled beforecooking.Scoresausage,frankfurtersand hot dogs.

Covering: As withconventionalcooking,moistureevaporatesdudng microwavecooking.Cesserde lids orpiesOcwrap areused for a tighter esal. When ualngplestic wrep,ve_ theplestic wrap by folding beck part of the plasOcwrap from theedge of the dish to allow steam to escape. Locoenor removeplasticwrap as recipe directsfor standtime.

Shielding: Thin areas of meat and poultrycook more quiddythan me_dybortions. To preventovercocidng,these thin areascan be shielded _ stdpsof aluminumfoil.Woodentoothpicksmay be used to hold the foil in place.

Timing: A range in csokingtime is given in each redpe.Thetimo range com_ for the uncontrollabledifferencesInfoodshapes, startingtompemture and regionalprefimmcos.Alwayscook foodfor the minimumcookingtime given in arecipeand check for donaness.If the fond is undercooked,continuecooking.It is easierto add time to an undercooksdproducLOnce the foodls ovemocked,nethingcan be done.

SUrdng: Stirringis usuallynecessaryduringmicrowavecooking.We have noted when stirringis helpful,usingthewords once, twice,frequenifyor occasionallyto describe theamountof stirringnecessary.

Rearranging: Rearrangesmall itemssuch as chicken pieces,shrimp, hamburgerpattiesor pod<shops. Rearrange piecesfrornthe edge to the conter and piecas fremthe centorto theedge of the dish.

"rumlng: It is notpossibleto stirsomefoods to mdietdbutethe heat. At times, microwaveenergywill concanbate in onearea of • food.To halp insurewen cooldng, these foods needto be turned.Turn over ierge foods, such es roestsor turkeys,halfwaythrough cooking.
