- The purpose of the standing time is
to allow the food to develop a more
even temperature.
- After cooking, allow the food to stand
at room temperature for a few
minutes to enable the heat to spread
more evenly throughout the food.
- If possible, use the automatic
programs for cooking.
- Select microwave power level
(900 W) to start cooking and then
continue cooking at power level
(450 W).
- When cooking foods that swell, such
as rice pudding or semolina, start
with microwave power level
(900 W) and then switch to power
level
(150 W).
Canning
Risk of infection from bacteria.
The spores of the botulinum
bacterium are not sufficiently killed
by canning pulses and meat only
once. Toxins may form which can
lead to serious poisoning. These
spores are only destroyed by
canning the food again.
After they have cooled down,
always
reheat pulses and meat a second
time within 2 days.
If unsuitable materials are used,
there is a risk of generating sparks
and damaging the microwave oven
as a result.
Use microwave-safe canning jars
and seal them with clear adhesive
tape or clips suitable for microwave
use.
Do not use metal clips, jars with
screw-top lids, or cans, as these will
generate sparks.
Always observe USDA/CFIA food
safety guidelines.
