HINTS:

Do not cook/reheat/defrost directly onto the base of the oven –– use a suitable container.

•

When defrosting multi portions of foods, turn over and break apart halfway through defrost time to

allow better penetration of microwave energy.

•

Solid/dense foods should not be cooked from frozen as they will be overcooked round the edges

before the centre has reached the required temperature.

•

Cover dishes where appropriate during cooking/reheating. This will retain moisture and prevent

splashing/spillages.

•

Loosen lids/pierce clingfilm before cooking/reheating covered foods.

•

Stir or shake foods halfway through cooking/defrosting time to distribute the heat evenly.

•

Allow a Stand Time before food temperature is checked and/or offered for consumption.
