MICROWAVE COOKING

How Does a Microwave Work? 1- Magnetron tube turns electricity into microwaves 2- The microwaves are absorbed into the food molecules causing them to vibrate. 3- Friction produces heat which cooks the food. Motion Friction Heat

Which foods cook faster in a microwave oven? Microwaves are attracted to fats. Cheesy foods will cook or heat very quickly. Microwaves are also attracted to sugar molecules. (honey, syrups, dessert foods will heat or cook very quickly.) Microwaves are attracted to water and watery textures such as soups.

What is the safest type of container to use in the microwave? Paper Plastic Glass Ceramic METAL is a NO-NO! If the container is shallow and round, rather than square, food will cook more evenly.

What is standing time? The amount of time food is allowed to sit after microwaving. This is important because it allows the food to finish the cooking process. The quantity, or volume, of food cooked will increase the standing time. Browning does NOT happen in microwave cooking due to the lack of dry heat from the cooking coil.

Why do some microwaves rotate the food as it cooks? Foods will cook more evenly if rotated during cooking. Another reason it is important to stir food during cooking is because food cooks from the outside in.

Microwaved foods will not scorch or stick so constant stirring is not necessary, but stirring is so important to disperse heat to the inside of the food!

Why Should Foods Be Covered While Microwaving? Moisture will be held in the food. Food will cook more evenly. Prevents splattering.

What would be an appropriate cover when cooking with a microwave? Plastic wrap Paper towels Wax paper Microwavable lids

Remember the Following to Prevent Burns….. Hot food = hot containers. Lift cover away from you (steam can burn-pop corn bags) Piercing foods prevents exploding (potatoes)

Microwave Experiment What happens to food as it is cooked in the microwave? Will the food item cook differently if it is a high-fat item vs a high-sugar item?
