Foods with an outer skin or peel should be punctures or pierced with a fork before microwaving.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Foods with an outer skin or peel should be punctured or pierced with a fork before microwaving because this allows steam to escape from the food during the heating process. If the skin or peel is not punctured, pressure can build up inside the food and cause it to explode or burst open, making a mess in the microwave. Puncturing the skin or peel with a fork helps to prevent this from happening and ensures that the food heats evenly and safely in the microwave.Rate this question:

Microwaves “brown” your foods similar to when cooking in the oven.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Microwaves do not "brown" food like an oven does. Microwaves work by emitting electromagnetic waves that excite water molecules in the food, causing them to vibrate and generate heat. This heat cooks the food from the inside out. Ovens, on the other hand, use heating elements or flames to directly heat the food and create browning reactions, such as caramelization and the Maillard reaction, which give food a golden or brown color. Therefore, the statement that microwaves "brown" food similar to an oven is false.Rate this question:
