Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 11,1971 <1 By Doris Thomas, Extend* Home Economist Let Microwaves Do The Cooking Out of the future and into the present have come microwave ovens. Already m home kitchen use, the microwave oven is a “cool cooker”: only the food gets hot. Not only that, but it is fast. Imagine a four-minute baked potato or a turkey roasting at seven minutes per pound instead of the conventional most-of-the day technique. Frozen foods can be quickly defrosted and precooked meals are a snap to reheat. In many families dinner time often is a battle among meetings, sports practices and so forth. It is difficult for the entire family to always sit down together for a leisurely meal.

Microwaves are invisible, high energy, high frequency sound waves. They are absorbed by food, are reflected by metal and pass through most other materials including glass and plastics. When the waves penetrate food they are converted into heat. Cooking then takes place from the center of the food to the edges which speeds cooking time. Some microwave ovens have a browning element for additional browning, but even without the feature, meats cooked in a microwave oven for more ex tended times will have an at tractive, browned appearance. Foods may be cooked in microwave ovens in dishes and pans of china, earthenware, glass and most plastics, but never metal or metallic decorated china or glass Paper plates, cups, dishes and towels may also be used. China and glass utensils which cannot be used in a stan dard oven are perfectly safe in a microwave oven Imagine the mix, freeze, bake and serve in one dish possibilities.
