MICROWAVES
Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat and sugar content.
The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules
creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food.
COOKING
Cookware for microwave cooking:
Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum efficiency. Microwaves are reflected by metal,
such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic as
well as paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.
Food suitable for microwave cooking:
Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains,
beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard, soups, steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a
microwave oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food that would normally be prepared on a
hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for example (see the chapter with tips, techniques and hints).
Covering during cooking
To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises as steam and contributes to cooking
process. Food can be covered in different ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film.
Standing times
After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the temperature to even out within the food.
Cooking Guide for frozen vegetables
Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum time – see table. Continue cooking to get the
result you prefer.
Stir twice during cooking and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after cooking. Cover during standing time.
