ENGLISH
To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden boiling
1.
Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids before use. Sealed containers can explode due to a build up of pressure even after the oven has been turned off.
2.
When boiling water or other liquids, use a wide-mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or other similar utensil to prevent sudden boil­ing (resulting in splashing or burning).
3.
Do not cook eggs in their shells. They may explode. The explosion may damage the oven or injure yourself. To cook or reheat eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks and whites or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them in the microwave oven.
4.
Pierce the skin on such foods as potatoes, sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
1. Use pot holders or oven gloves when remov­ing food from the oven to prevent burns.
2. Always oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam burns.
3. Always stand back from the oven door when opening it to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.
4.
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns.
5.
Stir the food and the contents of cooking containers, and before giving them to infants, young children or elderly people to avoid internal burns.
6. Do not catch the utensil, your clothes or accessories on the door safety latches, when you take out the food from the oven.

HELPFUL HINTS
1. THE ARRANGEMENT Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.
2. TURNING Foods such as poultry and joints of meat should be turned over after half the cooking time.
3. COVERING Cover foods in the microwave if you would normally cover the food in your ordinary oven, or to retain moisture. Cover foods such as Vegetables, Casseroles, or when Reheating. Use to cover foods:
4. PIERCING
LID PLASTIC WRAP PAPER TOWEL
Pierce potatoes, eggs, tomatoes or any foods with a skin or membrane to allow steam to escape.
TOMATO
EGG
5. SHIELDING Shield using small pieces of aluminium foil to shield thin areas of meat,fish and poultry or edges of cakes to prevent overcooking.
FISH
CHICKEN
6. STANDING TIME Standing time is important. After cooking or defrosting ensure adequate standing time. This allows the food to continue cooking or heating. Refer to cooking guides for each menu or according to manufacturers instructions.
7. STIRRING Stir foods from the outside to the centre of the dish, once or twice during cooking if possible. Eg. Casseroles and Sauces.
8. SIZE Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed cooking, cut pieces smaller than 5 cm so microwaves can penetrate to the centre from all sides. For even cooking, make all the pieces the same size.
9. DENSITY The depth to which microwaves penetrate food varies depending on the food's density. Porous foods like minced beef or mashed potatoes microwave faster than dense ones like steak or whole potatoes.
10. FAT AND BONE Marbling within meat, or a thin, even layer of fat on a roast, speeds cooking. Large fatty areas or excess drippings in dish attract energy away from meat, and slows cooking. Centre bones do not affect cooking, but bone on the side of meat conducts heat to the areas next to it.
11. STARTING TEMPERATURE Frozen or refrigerated food takes longer to heat than food at room temperature. Cooking times in this book are based on normal storage temperatures. Since rooms, refrigerators and freezers differ in temperature, check for doneness at the minimum time.
12. QUANTITY Microwave cooking times are directly related to the amount of food in the oven. Because energy is absorbed by the food itself, one potato or a single piece of chicken cooks rapidly. When the energy is divided among several items, cooking takes more time.
13. CONDENSATION Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and moisture in food will influence the amount of condensation in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.

Advice
GLASSWARE
• Ordinary glass is not suitable for cooking but may be used for short periods for heating foods.
CERAMIC
• Most ovenproof china, and ceramics, are suited.
• Avoid dishes that are decorated with gold or silver leaf.
• Avoid using antique pottery.
• If unsure, check with the manufacturer.
• Metal cookware should be avoided when cooking in the microwave oven.
• Microwave energy is reflected by metal.
• Plastic wrap can be used to cover food.
• Some shrinkage of the wrap may occur, over an extended cooking time.
When removing wrap, lift it in such a way to avoid steam burns.
• Do not tie oven bags with metal twist ties, substitute with string.
• For cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in contact with the food as it may melt.
• Small amounts may be used to shield certain parts of meat and fish when cooking or defrosting.
• Remove food in foil trays, if possible, and place in a micro­wave safe dish.
• If not possible, place the foil tray onto a heat proof plate allowing 2.5 cm room between the walls of the oven.

• Excessive over heating of these materials may cause a fire in the microwave oven.
• Paper towels and waxed paper are suitable to use to prevent splatters.
• These are suitable for use when reheating foods or for short cooking time.
• Ideal for cooking, reheating and defrosting.
• Some microwave safe plastic cookware are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content.
• Ensure that the preheating time of the dish is not exceeded.
• Ensure that a microwave heat proof dinner plate or suitable insulator be placed between the turntable and the browning dish.

Food not listed in the Guide can be defrosted using 30 % setting. NOTE: When freezing minced meat, shape it into flat even sizes.
For chicken pieces, steaks and chop, freeze separately in single flat layers and if necessary interleave with freezer plastic to separate layers. This will ensure even defrosting. It is also a good idea to label the packs with the correct weights.
