Microwave Utensils - Kambrook KMO201 Instruction Booklet

Hints & Tips
• Foods that are high in liquid,
fat and sugar cook well in the
microwave oven.
• Drier foods require shorter
cooking time.
• Always arrange food carefully.
Place the thickest areas towards
the outside of the dish.
• Place smaller items, such as 1 cup
drinks, towards the outer edge of
the glass turntable.
• Place larger items, such as
chicken or cake, in the centre of
the glass turntable.
• Larger items, such as chicken
or cake, should be raised on a
microwave-safe rack for more
even cooking.
• Pay close attention to the cooking
time. Cook for the shortest
amount of time indicated and
add more time as needed. Food
that is severely overcooked can
smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods loosely with vented
lids or microwave safe plastic
wrap while heating or cooking.
• Covering foods prevents splattering
and helps foods cook evenly.
• Turn foods over once during
microwaving to speed the
cooking process of foods such 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.

Microwave Utensils

• Containers, plates, dishes, etc.
used in the microwave oven
should always be microwave-safe.
Check if stated on the underside
of the utensil or contact the
manufacturer.
• To test if a container, plate or dish
is microwave-safe, place it into
the microwave oven with 1 cup
of cold water and heat on High
Power "PL10" for 1 minute. If the
container is hot and the water is
cold, the container is not suitable
for microwave oven use. If the
container is cold and the water is
hot, then the container is suitable
for microwave oven use.
• Metal containers and utensils
should not be used in the
microwave oven.
