COOKING TECHNIQUES

1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more
as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook
evenly.
4. Turn foods over once during microwave cooking to speed cooking of such foods as
chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to
bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.

COOKING UTENSILS GUIDE

1. Microwave cannot penetrate metal. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during
microwave cooking. This requirement is not applicable if the manufacturer specifies
size and shape of metallic containers suitable for microwave cooking.
2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim
should not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain
small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in
corners tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed
areas. But be careful don't use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm)
between foil and cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
