cooking guide
MICROWAVES
Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and
absorbed by its water, fat and sugar content.
The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly.
The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the
resulting heat cooks the food.
COOKING
Cookware for microwave cooking:
Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for
maximum efficiency. Microwaves are reflected by metal, such
as stainless steel, aluminium and copper, but they can penetrate
through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic as well as paper and
wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.
Food suitable for microwave cooking:
Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including
fresh or frozen vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish,
and meat. Sauces, custard, soups, steamed puddings, preserves,
and chutneys can also be cooked in a microwave oven. Generally
speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food that would
normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for
example (see the chapter with tips, techniques and hints).
Covering during cooking
To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the
evaporated water rises as steam and contributes to cooking
process.
Food can be covered in different ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate,
plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film.
Standing times
After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow
the temperature to even out within the food.
