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 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).
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.
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.

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.

• Paper towels and waxed paper are suitable to use to prevent

• 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.
