MICROWAvE COOKING PRINCIPLES

1. A rrange food carefully. Place thickest areas
towards outside of dish.
2. W atch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount
of time indicated and add more as needed. Food
severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
3. C over foods while cooking. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
4. 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.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
through cooking both from top to bottom and from
the center of the dish to the outside.

UTENSILS GUIdE

(page 7)
1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is
transparent to microwave, it allows energy to pass
through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwave can not penetrate metal, so metal
utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be
use.
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.
