COOKING FOOD
•
Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food
which is piled high. You should therefore distribute the
food so that it is as flat as possible in the ovenware.
Different foodstuffs should not be placed in layers on
top of one another.
•
Place the food directly on the turntable.
•
Cook the food in ovenware with a lid. If you do not
have a suitable lid for your ovenware, use a plate or
special microwave foil.
•
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so
it will require less seasoning.
•
After cooking, allow the food to stand for a further
2 to 5 minutes so that it can achieve an even
temperature.
•
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
removing plates from the oven.
