MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES

1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas

towards outside of dish.

2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest

amount of time indicated and add more as
needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke
or ignite.

3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent

spattering and help foods to cook evenly.

4. 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.

5. 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

1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to pass

through the container and heat the food.

2. Microwave can not penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be

used.

3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal

fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.

4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to

overcook.

The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.

Heat–Resistant Glass Yes
Non Heat–Resistant Glass No
Heat–Resistant Ceramics Yes
