MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more
as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook
evenly.
Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as
chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least
once.
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to
bottom and from the centre of the dish to the outside.
UTENSILS GUIDE
The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwaves, it allows
energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
Microwave can not penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim
should not be used.
Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain
small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
Round/oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommended, as food in
corners tends to overcook.
Narrow strips of aluminium foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed
areas. But be careful to not use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm)
between foil and cavity.
The list on the following page is a general guide to help you select the correct
utensils.
