MICROWAVE COOKING TECHNIQUES  
Arrange food carefully  
Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.  
Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more time  
as needed.  
Watch cooking time  
Food severely over-cooked can smoke or ignite.  
Check recipe for suggestions: paper towels, microwave plastic wrap  
or a lid.  
Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.  
(Helps keep oven clean)  
Cover foods before cooking  
Shield foods  
Use small pieces of aluminium foil to cover thin areas of meats or  
poultry in order to avoid overcooking.  
From outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if  
possible.  
Stir foods  
Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks should be turned  
over once during cooking.  
Turn foods  
Like meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and  
from the center of the dish to the outside.  
Rearrange foods  
After cooking ensure adequate standing time.  
Remove food from oven and stir if possible.  
Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking  
without overcooking.  
Allow standing time  
Look for signs indicating that cooking temperature has been  
reached.  
Doneness signs include:  
– Food steams throughout, not just at edge.  
– Poultry thigh joints move easily.  
– Poultry show no pinkness.  
Check for doneness  
Condensation  
– Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.  
A normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and moisture in  
food will influence the amount of moisture in the oven. Generally,  
covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered  
foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.  
When using a browning dish or self-heating material, always place a  
heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent  
damage to the turntable, roller stay and coupling due to heat stress.  
The preheating time specified in the dish's instructions must not be  
exceeded.  
Browning dish  
For cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in  
contact with the food as it may melt.  
Microwave safe plastic wrap  
Microwave safe plastic  
cookware  
Some microwave safe plastic cookware are not suitable for cooking  
foods with high fat and sugar content.
