Before you begin
Basic principles of microwave cookery
Arrange the food with consideration.
The thickest parts near the edges.
Pay attention to the cooking time. Select the shortest possible stated cooking time and in­crease as required. Food that is cooked too long can begin to smoke or catch fire.
Cover the food during cooking with a lid suitable for microwave cookery. The lid prevents splashing and helps in the even cooking of the food.
While cooking, turn the food in the microwave once so that items such as chicken or hamburgers are cooked more quickly.
Large pieces of food, such as joints of meat, must be turned at least once.
Completely re-arrange foods such as meatballs after half the cooking time. Turn them and move the meatballs from the middle of the cookware to the edge.
Use suitable cookware
The ideal material for a microwave oven is microwave-permeable, allowing the energy to penetrate the container to heat the food. Microwaves cannot permeate metal. For this reason metal containers and cookware may not be used.
When using the microwave for heating do not use products made of recycled paper. These can contain minute fragments of metal, which can generate sparks and/or fires.
We recommend the use of round/oval cook­ware instead of square or oblong containers, as food in corner areas tends to overcook. The following list provides general hints to assist you in selecting the correct cookware.
