Microwave cooking principles

 Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
 Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and
add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
 Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to
cook evenly.
 Turn foods over once during microwave cooking to speed cooking of such
foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned
over at least once.
 Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from
top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.

Utensils guide

 The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwaves,
it allows energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
 Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with
metallic trim should not be used.
 Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they
may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
 Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as
food in corners tends to overcook.
 Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of
exposed areas. Do not use use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch
(2.54 cm) between foil and cavity.
