MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES
1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards the outside of the 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 microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken
and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
