Cooking tips
The following factors may affect the cooking re-
sult:
Food arrangement
Place thicker areas towards outside of dish, the
thinner part towards the centre and spread it
evenly. Do not overlap if possible.
Cooking time length
Start cooking with a short time setting, evaluate
it after it times out and extend it according to the
actual need. Over cooking may result in smoke and
burns.
Cooking food evenly
Food such as chicken, hamburger or steak should
be turned once during cooking.
Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir it
from outside to centre of dish once or twice during
cooking
Allow standing time
After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven
for an adequate length of time, this allows it to
complete its cooking cycle and cooling it down in
a gradual manner
Whether the food is done
Color and hardness of food help to determine if it
is done, these include:
•
Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just
the edge
•
Joints of poultry can be moved easily
•
Pork or poultry shows 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 con-
tainer, always place a heat-resistant insulator
such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent dam-
age to the turntable and rotating ring.
Microwave safe plastic wrap
When cooking food with high fat content, do not
allow the plastic wrap come into contact with food
as it may melt
Microwave safe plastic cookware
Some microwave safe plastic cookware might not
be suitable for cooking foods with high fat and
sugar content. Also, the preheating time speci-
fied in the dish instruction manual must not be
exceeded.
