MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES

1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas
towards the outside of
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.

UTENSILS GUIDE

1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwaves, it allows energy to pass
through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwave can not penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be
use.
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.
