Cooking Guide
MICROWAVES
Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water,
fat and sugar content.
The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid move-
ment of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food.
COOKING
Cookware for microwave cooking:
Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum
efficiency.
Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper,
but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic as well as
paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.
Foods suitable for microwave cooking:
Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen
veg-etables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard,
soups, steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a
microwave oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food that
would normal-ly be prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for example
(see the chapter with tips, techniques and hints).
Covering during cooking
To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises
as steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in different
ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film.
Standing times
After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the temperature
to even out within the food.
Cooking Guide for frozen vegetables
Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum time - see
table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer. Stir twice during cooking and
once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after cooking. Cover during standing
time.
Cooking Guide for rice and pasta
Rice : Use a large glass pyrex bowl with lid - rice doubles in volume during
cook ing. Cook covered. After the cooking time is over, stir before
standing time and salt or add herbs and butter.
Remark: the rice may not have absorbed all water after the cooking
time is finished.
Pasta : Use a large glass pyrex bowl. Add boiling water, a pinch of salt and stir
well. Cook uncovered. Stir occasionally during and after cooking. Cover
during standing time and drain thoroughly afterwards.
