MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES
1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add
more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook
evenly.
4. 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.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top
to bottom and from the centre of the dish to the outside.
UTENSILS GUIDE
1 The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave,
it allows energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes
with metallic trim should not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may
contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in
corners tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminium foil may be used to prevent overcooking
of exposed areas. But be careful don't use too much and keep a distance
of 1 inch (2.54 cm) between foil and cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
