MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES
1.
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards 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 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.
5.
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
1.
Microwave cannot penetrate metal. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during
microwave cooking. This requirement is not applicable if the manufacturer 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 microwave 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.
