Covering
Arcing is the microwave term tbr sparks in the oven. Arcing is
caused by:
* metal or toil touching the side of tim oven.
* t_)il that is not molded to tood (upturned edges act like
antennas).
* metal such as twist lies, pouln T pins, gold-rimmed dishes.
* recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.
Covers hold in moisture, allow tbr more even heating and reduce
cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or cove_ing with wax paper
allows excess steam lo escape.

Venting
In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked toods to
prevent ove>browning. When microwaving, you use small snips of
toil to shield thin parts, such asthe lips of wings and legs on pouln T,
which would cook beti)re larger parts.
When you cook with regular ovens, toods such as_oasts o_cakes are
allowed to stand to finish cooking or/o set. Standing time is
especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved
cake isnot placed on a cooling rack.
After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by
turning back one coineI so excess steam can escape.
