For even cooking stir, turn or rearrange food during
cooking. Where recommended, leave food to stand after
cooking or defrosting.
The initial temperature of food affects the amount of
cooking time needed, eg. chilled food requires more
cooking than food at room temperature.
The temperature of the container is not a true indication
of the temperature of the food or drink. Cut into foods
with fillings, for example, jam doughnuts, to release heat
or steam.
Food high in fat or sugar (Christmas pudding or mince
pies) requires less heating time and should be watched,
over-heating can lead to fire.
Good quality ingredients should be used for
microwaving. Economical cuts of meat are recommended
for casserole.
