 1. 

THE ARRANGEMENT

 

 Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.

 3. 

COVERING

 

 Cover foods in the microwave if you would normally cover the food in 

your ordinary oven, or to retain moisture. Cover foods such as Vegetables, 
Casseroles, or when Reheating.

 

 Use to cover foods:

 5. 

SHIELDING

 

 Shield using small pieces of aluminium foil to shield thin areas of meat, fi sh 

and poultry or edges of cakes to prevent overcooking.

 7. 

STIRRING

 

 Stir foods from the outside to the centre of the dish, once or twice during 

cooking if possible.

 

 Eg. Casseroles and Sauces.

 9. 

DENSITY

 

 The depth to which microwaves penetrate food varies depending on the 

food's density. Porous foods like minced beef or mashed potatoes microwave 
faster than dense ones like steak or whole potatoes.

 11. STARTING  TEMPERATURE
 

 Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to heat than food at room temperature. 

Cooking times in this book are based on normal storage temperatures. Since 
rooms, refrigerators and freezers differ in temperature, check cooking result 
at the minimum time.

13.  CONDENSATION
 

 Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and 

moisture in food will infl uence the amount of condensation in the oven. 
Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered 
foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.

 2. TURNING
 

 Foods such as poultry and joints of meat should be turned over after half the 

cooking time.

 4. PIERCING
 

 Pierce potatoes, eggs, tomatoes or any foods with a skin or membrane to 

allow steam to escape.

 6. STANDING TIME
 

 Standing time is important. After cooking or defrosting ensure adequate 

standing time. This allows the food to continue cooking or heating. 
Refer to cooking guides for each menu or according to manufacturers 
instructions.

 8. SIZE
 

 Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed up cooking, cut pieces 

smaller than 5 cm so microwaves can penetrate to the centre from all sides. 
For even cooking, make all the pieces the same size.

 10.  FAT  AND  BONE
 

  Marbling within meat, or a thin, even layer of fat on a roast, speeds cooking. 

Large fatty areas or excess drippings in dish attract energy away from meat, 
and slows cooking. Centre bones do not affect cooking, but bone on the 
side of meat conducts heat to the areas next to it.

 12.  QUANTITY
 

 Microwave cooking times are directly related to the amount of food in the 

oven. Because energy is absorbed by the food itself, one potato or a single 
piece of chicken cooks rapidly. When the energy is divided among several 
items, cooking takes more time.

 14.  GENERAL
 

  Your microwave oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly 

therefore, it is very important that you select the appropriate cooking time and 
power level for the type and quantity of food to be heated. If you are unsure 
of the cooking time and power level required, begin with low cooking times 
and power levels until the food is suffi ciently heated evenly throughout.
