Microwave Cooking
Principles
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas
towards outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest
amount of time indicated and add more as
needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke
or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent
splattering and help food to cook evenly.
• 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.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
through cooking both from top to bottom and
from the center of the dish to the outside.

Utensils Guide
• A transparent utensil is best for microwave
cooking as it allows energy to pass through the
container and heat the food.
• Only use a temperature probe recommended
for microwave ovens.
• Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so metal
utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not
be used.
• Do not use recycled paper products when
microwave cooking, as they may contain small
metal fragments which may cause sparks and/
or fires.
• Round/oval dishes rather than square/oblong
ones are recommend, as food in corners tends
to overcook.
The list below is a general guide to help you
select the correct utensils.
