General Guidelines
Cling Film
Cling film helps keep the
food moist and the trapped
steam assists in speeding
up cooking times. Cling film
should be pierced before
cooking, to allow excess
steam to escape. Always
take care when removing
cling film from a dish as the
build-up of steam will be
very hot. Always purchase
cling film that states on
the packet "suitable for
microwave cooking" and
use as a covering only. Do
not line dishes with cling
film. Do not cover foods
when cooking
by grill, convection
or combination.
Dish Size
Follow the dish sizes given
in the recipes, as these
affect the cook ing and
reheating times. A quan tity
of food spread in a bigger
dish cooks and reheats
more quickly.
Quantity
Small quantities cook faster
than large quantities, also
small meals will reheat
more quickly than large
portions.
Spacing
Foods cook more quickly
and evenly if spaced apart.
Never pile foods on top of
each other.
22
Shape
Even shapes cook evenly.
Food cooks better by
microwave when in a
round container rather than
square.
Density
Porous airy foods heat
more quickly than dense
heavy foods.
Covering
Cover foods with
microwave cling film or a
self-fitting lid. Cover fish,
vegetables, cas seroles,
soups. Do not cover cakes,
sauces, jacket potatoes,
pastry items. Please refer to
cooking charts and recipes
for more information.
Arranging
Individual foods e.g.
chicken portions or chops,
should be placed on a dish
with the thicker parts to the
outside.
Ingredients
Foods containing fat, sugar
or salt heat up very quickly.
The filling may be much
hotter than the pastry. Take
care when eating. Do not
overheat even if the pastry
does not appear to be very
hot.
