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.

When boiling water or other liquids, use a widemouthed 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).

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.

Pierce the skin on such foods as potatoes, sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.

5. Do not use excessive amount of time to heat.

6. Stand at least for 20 seconds at the end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids.

7. Stir the liquid before and during cooking. Use extreme care when handling the container or inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

To avoid the possibility of burns

1. Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns.

2. Always cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam burns.

3. Always when opening it to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.

4. Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns.

Stir the food and the contents of cooking contain-

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 up 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 foods take 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 cooking results 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.

14. GENERAL Your microwave oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly therefore, it is very important that you select the appropriate cooking time and power level for the type and quantity of food to be heated. If you are unsure of the cooking time and power level required, begin with low cooking times and power levels until the food is sufficiently heated evently throughout.

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.
