MICROWAVE COOKING TECHNIQUES

	Arrange food carefully	Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.
	Watch cooking time	Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more time
		as needed.
		Food severely over-cooked can smoke or ignite.
		Check recipe for suggestions: paper towels, microwave plastic wrap
	Cover foods before cooking	or a lid.
		Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
		(Helps keep oven clean)
	Shield foods	Use small pieces of aluminium foil to cover thin areas of meats or
		poultry in order to avoid overcooking.
	Stir foods	From outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if
		possible.
	Turn foods	Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks should be turned
		over once during cooking.
	Rearrange foods	Like meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and
		from the center of the dish to the outside.
		After cooking ensure adequate standing time.
	Allow standing time	Remove food from oven and stir if possible.
		Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking
		without overcooking.
		Look for signs indicating that cooking temperature has been
		reached.
		Doneness signs include:
	Check for doneness	– Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
		– Poultry thigh joints move easily.
		– Poultry show no pinkness.
		– Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
		A normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and moisture in
	Condensation	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
	Browning dish	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.
	Microwave safe plastic wrap	For cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in
		contact with the food as it may melt.
	Microwave safe plastic	Some microwave safe plastic cookware are not suitable for cooking
	cookware	foods with high fat and sugar content.
