How to cook with microwaves
Spreading out the food
Food cooks more quickly and evenly if it is
separated and spread out in the dish. Avoid
piling up or cramming in the food.
Quantity
Cooking times are proportional to the quantity
of food to be cooked. 500g of potatoes will cook
more quickly than 1kg.

Arranging the food
Individual portions such as chicken legs, pork
chops etc. must be arranged in the dish so that
the meaty parts are at the edge of the dish and
the less meaty parts (which need less cooking)
are in the middle.
Standing time
Leave roast meat, whole potatoes (wrapped
in aluminium foil) and cakes to stand
outside the oven for 10 to 15 minutes after
cooking. Most food continues to cook once the
oven is switched off, due to the conduction of
heat. Take this into account when calculating
cooking times.
