GENERAL MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE


Food cooking times will vary with microwave wattage
(MAFF rating).
cooking instructions always check the MAFF rating /
wattage of the appliance being used (marked on the front
of the microwave) and follow the corresponding cooking
advice. Where the recommended cooking time exceeds 6
minutes, increase the cooking time by 30% when using
this appliance (e.g. if recommended cooking time is 10
minutes, set the appliance cooking time to 13 minutes).
 Beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling; therefore
care must be taken when handling the container.
 Remove lids from containers before placing in the
microwave, pierce plastic films and do not use vessels
with sealed or restricted openings since they are liable to
explode.

Pierce the skin or membranes of food (e.g. potatoes,
apples, fish, chicken, eggs) in several places before
cooking. Never cook or heat eggs in their shell or whole
hard boiled eggs, as they may explode even after cooking
has been completed.

Ensure food is similar size and density. Large dense items
take longer to cook than small ones e.g. potatoes take
longer to cook than peas.

Food quantity will affect the cooking time, e.g. two
potatoes take longer than one.

The shape of food will affect the cooking time; place the
thickest part of food on the outside of the plate.

Leave food to stand for a short period after cooking or
defrosting to allow the temperature to become uniform.
