Hints and Tips
• Foods that are high in liquid,
fat and sugar cook well in the
microwave oven.
• Drier foods require shorter
cooking time.
• Always arrange food carefully.
Place the thickest areas towards
the outside of the dish.
• Place smaller items, such as 1 cup
drinks, towards the outer edge of
the glass turntable.
• Place larger items, such as
chicken or cake, in the centre
of the glass turntable.
• Larger items, such as chicken
or cake, should be raised on a
microwave-safe rack for more
even cooking.
• Pay close attention to the cooking
time. Cook for the shortest amount
of time indicated and add more
time as needed. Food that is
severely overcooked can smoke
or ignite.
• Cover foods loosely with vented
lids or microwave safe plastic wrap
while heating or cooking.
• Covering foods prevents spattering
and helps foods cook evenly.
• Turn foods over once during
microwaving to speed the cooking
process of foods such 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 centre
of the dish to the outside.
Microwave Utensils
• Containers, plates, dishes, etc.
used in the microwave oven
should always be microwave-safe.
Check if stated on the underside
of the utensil or contact the
manufacturer.
• To test if a container, plate or dish
is microwave-safe, place it into
the microwave oven with 1 cup
of cold water and heat on High
Power “PL10” for 1 minute. If the
container is hot and the water is
cold, the container is not suitable
for microwave oven use. If the
container is cold and the water is
hot, then the container is suitable
for microwave oven use.
WARNING:
Do not use
metal containers and
utensils in the microwave
oven.
