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 
movement 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.

Food suitable for microwave cooking:

Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen 
vegetables, 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 normally 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, standing time for the food 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 
cooking. Cook covered.
After the cooking time is over, stir before standing time and add 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.
