4.3 Cooking techniques
1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas to-
wards outside of 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 spat-
tering and help foods to cook evenly.
4. Turn foods over once during microwave cooking
to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and
hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be
turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
through cooking both from top to bottom and
from the center of the dish to the outside.

4.4 Cooking utensils guide
1. Microwave cannot penetrate metal. Only use
utensils that are suitable for use in microwave
ovens. Metallic containers for food and bevera-
ges are not allowed during microwave cooking.
This requirement is not applicable if the ma-
nufacturer specifies size and shape of metallic
containers suitable for microwave cooking.
2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal
utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not
be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when mi-
crowave cooking, as they may contain small
metal fragments which may cause sparks and/
or fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong
ones are recommend, as food in corners tends
to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to
prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be
careful don’t use too much and keep a distance
of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity. The
list below is a general guide to help you select
the correct utensils.
