Food Characteristics
Bone and Fat
Both bone and fat affect cook-
ing. 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.
Density
Porous, 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 foods...

tighter seal. When using plastic wrap, vent the 
plastic wrap by folding back part of the plastic 
wrap from the edge of the dish to allow steam 
to escape. Loosen or remove plastic wrap as 
recipe directs for stand time. When removing 
plastic wrap covers, as well as any glass lids, 
be careful to remove them away from you to 
avoid...
