COOKING CHART
T
HE
MORE
FOOD
YOU
WANT
TO
COOK
the longer it
takes. A rule of thumb is that double amount
of food requires almost double the time.
T
HE
LOWER
STARTING
TEMPERATURE
,
the longer cook-
ing time is required. Food at room tem-
perature cooks faster than food taken di-
rectly from the refrigerator.
I
F
YOU
ARE
COOKING
SEVERAL
ITEMS
of the
same food, such as jacket potatoes,
place them in a ring pattern for uniform
cooking.
S
OME
FOODS
ARE
COVERED
BY
A
SKIN
OR
MEMBRANE
e.g.
potatoes, apples and egg yolks. These food
should be pricked with a fork or cocktail stick
to relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting.
S
MALLER
PIECES
OF
FOOD
WILL
COOK
FASTER
than larg-
er pieces and uniform pieces of food cook
more evenly than irregularly shaped foods.
S
TIRRING
AND
TURNING
OF
FOOD
ARE
techniques
used in conventional cooking as well as in mi-
crowave cooking to distribute the heat quick-
ly to the center of the dish and avoids over-
cooking at the outer edges of the food.
W
HEN
COOKING
FOOD
OF
UNEVEN
SHAPE
or
thickness, place the thinner area of
food towards the center of the dish,
where it will be heated last.
F
OOD
WITH
LOT
OF
FAT
AND
SUGAR
will be
cooked faster than food containing a lot
of water. Fat and sugar will also reach a higher
temperature than water.
A
LWAYS
ALLOW
THE
FOOD
TO
STAND
for some time
after cooking. Standing time always improves
the result since the temperature will then be
evenly distributed throughout the food.
