HELPFUL HINTS
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute
heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and
heats more quickly.
Arranging Food
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the
thicker meatier parts toward the outside of the Turntable where they
receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place delicate
areas of food toward the center of the Turntable.
Shielding
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking.
Areas that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry
legs and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of
aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.
Turning
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to
microwave energy. This is especially important with large foods such as
roasts.
Standing
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to
cook for a few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to complete
cooking, especially foods such as cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts
need this time to complete cooking in the centre without overcooking the
outer areas. Let all liquids, such as soup, water or hot chocolate stand for
one minute then stir before serving. When heating baby food, stir
after warming then test the temperature before serving.
