USAGE TIPS
1. Microwave safe plastic wrap is handy for maintaining moisture in food and
reducing heating or cooking time, however always leave a small opening for some
steam to escape.
2. Standing Time - Always allow cooked or heated food to stand after the oven has stopped
running. Standing time allows the heat to finish conducting itself evenly to the centre of
the product. Standing time can be up to 20% of the heating time depending on product.
3. Moisture Content - Many fresh foods such as vegetables and fruits vary in moisture
throughout the season. Therefore heating times may need to be varied accordingly.
4. Heating Evenly:
a. Even shapes heat more evenly, a round dish heats more evenly than a square dish.
b. Microwave energy heats from the outside to the inside. Therefore placing thicker
portions on the outside of the dish will heat more evenly.
c. Single items will heat more evenly than multiple items. ie a single bowl of food will
heat more evenly than 2 bowls at the same time.
d. Spacing food apart evenly on the plate will heat faster and more evenly than food
piled together.
5. Starting temperature - The colder the starting temperature the longer the heating time.
