COOKING CHART

The more food you want to cook the longer it takes. A
rule of thumb is that double amount of food requires
almost double the time.
The lower starting temperature, the longer cooking
time is required. Food at room temperature cooks fa-
ster than food taken directly from the refrigerator.
If you are cooking several items of the same food,
such as jacket potatoes, place them in a ring pattern
for uniform cooking.
Some foods are covered by a skin or membrane e.g.
potatoes, apples and egg yolks. These food should
be pricked with a fork or cocktail stick to relieve the
pressure and to prevent bursting.
Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than larger pie-
ces and uniform pieces of food cook more evenly than
irregularly shaped foods.
Stirring and turning of food are techniques used in
conventional cooking as well as in microwave coo-
king to distribute the heat quickly to the center of the
dish and avoids over-cooking at the outer edges of
the food.
When cooking food of uneven shape or thickness,
place the thinner area of food towards the center of
the dish, where it will be heated last.
Food with lot of fat and sugar will be cooked faster
than food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar will
also reach a higher temperature than water.
Always allow the food to stand for some time after
cooking. Standing time always improves the result
since the temperature will then be evenly distributed
throughout the food.
