Food CharacteristicsCooking Techniques
Bone and FatBoth bone and fat affect cooking. Bones may
cause irregular cooking. Meat next to the tips of
bones may overcook while meat positioned under
a large bone, such as a ham bone, may be
undercooked. Large amounts of fat absorb
microwave energy and the meat next to these
areas may overcook.
DensityPorous, airy foods such as breads, cakes or rolls
take less time to cook than heavy, dense foods
such as potatoes and roasts. When reheating
donuts or other...

Heating or Reheating Guide
To heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines.
Measure the amount of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the
food  in  a  circular  pattern  for  best  results.  Room  temperature  food  will  heat  faster  than
refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed in a microwav-
able container. The food will be heated more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or
plastic wrap...
