COOKING TIPS
The following factors may affect the cooking result:
Food arrangement
Place thicker areas towards outside of 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 it after it times out 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 dish once
or twice during cooking
Allow standing time
After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven for an adequate length of time,
this allows it to complete its cooking cycle and cooling it down in a gradual manner
Whether the food is done
Color 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
