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 microwave cooking to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and
hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
5.
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center
of the dish to the outside.
UTENSILS GUIDE
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. Metallic containers for food and
beverages or dishes with metallic trim are not allowed during microwave cooking.
Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal
fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to
overcook.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
