Cooking Tips
The following factors may affect the cooking result:
Food arrangement
Place thicker food towards outside the 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 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 the dish,
once or twice, during cooking.
Allow standing time
After cooking is completed, leave the food in the oven for an adequate length of time.
This allows it to complete the cooking cycle and cooling it down in a gradual manner.
When the food is done
Colour 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.
Microwave thin film
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 specified in the dish instruction manual
must not be exceeded.
