MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES
Food arrangement
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish, the thinner part towards the centre and
spread it evenly. Do not overlap if possible.
Cooking time length
Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely
overcooked can smoke or ignite.
Cooking food evenly
Turn foods over once during microwave cooking to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers.
Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through
cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
Allow standing time
After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven for an adequate length of time, this allows it to complete its
cooking cycle and cooling it down in a gradual manner.
