Microwave cooking tips

1) Arranging food
Place thicker areas toward outside of dish
and the thinner meat in the center and spread
them evenly. Do not overlap if possible.
2) Cooking time
Start cooking with the shorter period of time
and extend it according to the actual need.
Overcooking may result in smoking and burning.
3) Cover foods before cooking refer to the
recipe
Use paper towels, microwave plastic wrap or
a cover to cover food so that prevent spattering
and help foods to cook evenly. (Helps keep
oven clean).
4) Partial shielding of food
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to cover thin
areas of meats or poultry to avoid overcooking.
5) Stir foods
From outside to center of dish once or twice
during cooking, if possible.
6) Turn foods
Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks
should be turned over once during cooking.
7) Rearrange foods
Please change the positions of food in half
way during cooking such as: from top to bottom
and from the center of the dish to the outside.
8) Allow standing time
After cooking ensure adequate standing
time. Remove food from oven and stir if
possible. Cover for standing time which allows
the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
9) Check for doneness
Observe the food color and hardness
to determine whether the food is cooked.
Doneness signs include:
• Steams throughout food, not just at edge
part.
• Joints of Poultry move easily.
• Pork and poultry show no evidence of
blood.
• Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
10) Condensation
It is a normal case of microwave cooking.

The humidity and moisture of food will influence
the amount of moisture in the oven. Generally,
covered foods will not cause as much
condensation as uncovered foods. Ensure that
the ventilation openings are not blocked.
