Micro Cooking Principles
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest ingredients towards outside of dish.
Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed.
Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and
hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the
center of the dish to the outside.
Utensils Guide
The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to pass
through the container and heat the food.
Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be
used.
Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal
fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to
overcook.
Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be
careful don’t use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.
Before Use:
Wash the oven accessories with mild soapy water and dry thoroughly before use.
Use a damp cloth to lightly wipe the inner walls of the oven.
Reassemble the grill tray and other accessories to their respective positions inside the oven.
Heat the oven at high temperature setting for approximately 5 minutes to eliminate any substance or oil
that may be used for testing and packing. Smoke and odour may be detected and this is normal.
Turn off the appliance and allow it to cool down.
