COOKING CHART
GENERAL HINTS:
The more food you want to cook the
longer it takes. A rule of thumb is that
double amount of food requires almost
double the time.
The lower starting temperature, the
longer cooking time is required. Food at
room temperature cooks faster than food
taken directly from the refrigerator.
If you are cooking several items of the
same food, such as jacket potatoes, place
them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking.
Some foods are covered by a skin or
membrane e.g. potatoes, apples and egg
yolks. These food should be pricked with a
fork or cocktail stick to relieve the pressure
and to prevent bursting.
Smaller pieces of food will cook faster
than larger pieces and uniform pieces of
food cook more evenly than irregularly
shaped foods. Stirring and turning of food are techniques
used in conventional cooking as well as in
microwave cooking to distribute the heat
quickly to the center of the dish and avoids
over-cooking at the outer edges of the food.
When cooking food of uneven shape or
thickness, place the thinner area of food
towards the center of the dish, where it will
be heated last.
Food with lot of fat and sugar will be
cooked faster than food containing a lot of
water. Fat and sugar will also reach a
higher temperature than water.
Always allow the food to stand for some
time after cooking. Standing time always
improves the result since the temperature
will then be evenly distributed throughout
the food.
