MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE

Microwaves cook food faster than conventional
cooking. It is therefore essential that certain
techniques are followed to ensure good results.
COOKING ADVICE NOTES:
• Always attend the oven when in use.
• Ensure that the utensils are suitable for
use in a microwave oven. (See "Suitable
Cookware" on page 30).
• Refer to the charts in the cookbook section for
recommended cooking times and power levels.
• Do not place hot foods/utensils on a cold
turntable or cold foods/utensils on a hot
turntable.
WARNING:
Follow instructions in the SHARP operation manual at all times.
If you exceed recommended cooking times and use power levels that are too high, food
may overheat, burn and in extreme circumstances, catch fire and damage the oven.

Place the thickest parts of food towards the outside of the
dish. e.g. Chicken drumsticks.
Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will
receive more energy, so cook quicker, than those in the
centre.
Certain foods benefit from being covered during microwave cooking, follow
recommendations where given.
Use vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid.
Foods with a shell, skin or membrane must be pierced in
several places before cooking or reheating as steam will
build up and may cause food to explode.
e.g. Potatoes, Fish, Chicken, Sausages.
NOTE: Eggs in their shells and hard / soft boiled eggs should not be
heated in the microwave oven as they may explode, even
after cooking has ended.
For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during
cooking. Always stir and rearrange from the outside towards the centre.
Standing time is necessary after cooking so it enables the heat to disperse
equally throughout the food.
Many of the following techniques are similar to
those used in conventional cooking.
• Liquids and foods must not be heated in
sealed containers or jars/containers with
lids on, as pressure will build up inside and
may cause the container/jar to explode.
• Only use microwave popcorn within the
recommended packaging (follow the
manufacturers instructions). Never use oil
unless specified by the manufacturer and never
cook for longer than instructed.
