MAINTENANCE
Shielding
Strips of aluminium foil (which block microwaves)
can be placed over the corners or edges of square
and rectangular foods to prevent those portions from
overcooking. Never use too much foil and make sure
the foil is secured to the dish or it may cause 'arcing'
in the oven especially if the foil passes too closely to
the walls of the oven during rotation.
Elevating
Thick or dense foods can be elevated so that
microwaves can be absorbed by the underside and
centre of the foods.
Piercing
Foods enclosed in a shell, skin or membrane are
likely to burst in the oven unless they are pierced
prior to cooking. Such foods include yolks and whites
of eggs, clams and oysters and whole vegetables and
fruits.
Testing if cooked
Food cooks so quickly in a oven, it is necessary
to test it frequently. Some foods are left in the
microwave until completely cooked, but most foods,
including meats and poultry, are removed from the
oven while still slightly undercooked and allowed
to finish cooking during standing time. The internal
temperature of foods will rise between 5 °F (3 °C) and
15 °F (8 °C) during standing time.
