General Microwave Cooking Advice - Morphy Richards EG820C2LP-PM Installation & User's Instructions

General microwave cooking advice

•
Food cooking times will vary with microwave wattage (MAFF
rating).
instructions always check the MAFF rating / wattage of the
appliance being used (marked on the front of the microwave)
and follow the corresponding cooking advice.
•
Beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling; therefore
care must be taken when handling the container.
• Remove lids from containers before placing in the microwave,
pierce plastic films and do not use vessels with sealed or
restricted openings since they are liable to explode.
•
Pierce the skin or membranes of food (e.g. potatoes, apples,
fish, chicken, eggs) in several places before cooking. Never
cook or heat eggs in their shell or whole hard boiled eggs, as
they may explode even after cooking has been completed.
•
Ensure food is similar size and density. Large dense items
take longer to cook than small ones e.g. potatoes take longer
to cook than peas.
• Food quantity will affect the cooking time, e.g. two potatoes
take longer than one.
•
The shape of food will affect the cooking time; place the
thickest part of food on the outside of the plate.
•
Leave food to stand for a short period after cooking or
defrosting to allow the temperature to become uniform.
