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
4
Page 6
and hamburgers. Large items like roasts
through cooking both from top to bottom
must be turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
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
use.
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.
