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 spattering and help foods to
cook evenly.
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.
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
The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwaves,
it allows energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
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.
Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of
exposed areas. Do not use use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch
(2.54 cm) between foil and cavity.
