STANDING TIME

Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes,
require standing time(inside or outside of the oven)
after cooking, to allow heat to finish conducting to cook
the center completely. Wrap meat joints and jacket
potatoes in aluminium foil while standing. Meat joints
need approx. 10-15 minutes, jacket potatoes 5
minutes. Other foods such as  plated meal, vegetables,
fish etc require 2-5 minutes standing. After defrosting
food, standing time should also be allowed. If food is
not cooked after standing time, return to the oven and
cook for additional time.

MOISTURE CONTENT

Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary in their
moisture content throughout the season, particularly
jacket potatoes. For this reason cooking times may
have to be adjusted. Dry ingredients e.g. rice, pasta,
can dry out during storage so cooking times may differ.

DENSITY

Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy
foods.

CLING FILM

Cling film helps keep the food moist and the trapped
steam assists in speeding up cooking times. Pierce
before cooking to allow excess steam to escape.
Always take care when removing cling film from a dish
as the build-up of steam will be very hot.

SHAPE

Even shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better by
microwave when in a round container rather than
square.

SPACING

Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart.
NEVER pile foods on top of each other.

STARTING TEMPERATURE

The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up.
Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than food at
room temperature.

LIQUIDS

All liquids must be stirred before and during heating.
Water especially must be stirred before and during
heating, to avoid eruption. Do not heat liquids that have
previously been boiled. DO NOT OVERHEAT.

TURNING & STIRRING

Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat and
poultry should be turned after half the cooking time.

ARRANGING

Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should
be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are
towards the outside.

QUANTITY

Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also
small meals will reheat more quickly than large
portions.

PIERCING

The skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam
to build up during cooking. These foods must be
pierced or a strip of skin should be peeled off before
cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes,
apples, sausages etc, will all need to be pierced before
cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN
THEIR SHELLS.

COVERING

Cover foods with microwave cling film or a lid. Cover
fish, vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do not cover
cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes or pastry items.
