Mastering the Microwave: Five Secret Techniques for Sizzling Success

Slide5: The Art of Arrangement and Spacing

A microwave cooks food using waves which need space to disperse evenly. This science can be used to your advantage. Arrange your food in a circular shape when possible, or at least spaced away from the center.

Similarly, when microwaving multiple items at once, be sure to space them out adequately. Not all spots in a microwave heat evenly, so rotating the food halfway through the cooking time can also contribute to a more even end result.

Applying the logic of food arrangement and spacing in your everyday microwave cooking will lead to better, evenly cooked food, marking your journey's final leg towards mastering the microwave.
