outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken

or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before

serving. When heating baby food, stir well and test the food temperature

before serving.

Adding Moisture

Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven

in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the

heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it

cook.

Venting

After covering a dish with plastic wrap, vent plastic wrap by turning back

one corner so excess steam can escape. Make sure to vent the wrap

away from hands and face. Venting towards you could result in burns on

your hands and face.
