Cooking Tips
Here are some tips when using your new microwave:
Food arrangement
Place thicker/dense areas towards the outside of the dish, the thinner/less dense parts
towards the centre and spread the food out evenly. Do not overlap food if possible.
Cooking time length
Start cooking with a shorter time setting and check periodically, it is better to add a bit
more time than to overcook your food. Over-cooking may even result in smoke or burning.
Cooking food evenly
Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks should be turned once during cooking.
Depending on the type of food, it may benefit from stirring from the outside to the centre of
dish once or even twice during cooking.
Allow standing time
After cooking has finished, leave the food inside the oven for a short period. This allows
cooking to complete and a calming of the cooking process.
Checking if the food is cooked
The appearance and texture of the food helps determine if it is ready, these include:
-
Steam coming out from all parts of the food, not just the edges
-
Joints of poultry can be moved easily
-
Pork or poultry show no signs of blood
-
Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork
Browning dish
When using a browning dish or self-heating container, it is best to place a heat-resistant
insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable.
Microwave-safe cling film
When cooking food with a high fat content, do not allow the cling film to touch the food as it
could melt.
Microwave-safe plastic cookware
Some microwave-safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking foods with a high
fat and sugar content due to the high temperatures reached. Do not exceed the preheating
time specified in the instruction of the dish.
