DISH SIZE

Follow the dish sizes given in the

recipes, as these affect the

cook ing and reheating times. A

quan tity of food spread in a

bigger dish cooks and reheats

more quickly.

QUANTITY

Small quantities cook faster than

large quantities, also small

meals will reheat more quickly

than large portions.

SPACING

Foods cook more quickly and

evenly if spaced apart. NEVER

pile foods on top of each other.

SHAPE

Even shapes cook evenly. Food

cooks better by microwave when

in a round container rather than

square.

DENSITY

Porous airy foods heat more

quickly than dense heavy foods.

COVERING

Cover foods with microwave cling

film or a self-fitting lid. Cover fish,

vegetables, cas seroles, soups. Do

not cover cakes, sauces, jacket

potatoes, pastry items.

ARRANGING

Individual foods e.g. chicken

portions or chops, should be

placed on a dish so that the

thicker parts are to the outside.

STARTING TEMPERATURE

The colder the food, the longer it

takes to heat up. Food from a

fridge takes longer to reheat

than food at room temperature.

Food temperature should be

between 5-8

o

C before cooking.

TURNING AND STIRRING

Some foods require stirring

during cooking. Meat and poultry

should be turned after half the

cooking time.

LIQUIDS

All liquids must be stirred

before, during and after

heating. Water

espe cially must be stirred before

and during heating, to avoid

eruption. Do not heat liquids that

have previously been boiled. DO

NOT OVERHEAT.

CHECKING FOOD

It is essential that food is checked

during and after a recommended

cooking time, even if an AUTO

PROGRAM has been used (just

as you would check food cooked

in a conven tional oven). Return

the food to the oven for further

cooking if necessary.

CLEANING

As microwaves work on food

particles, keep your oven clean at

all times. Wipe with a soft damp

cloth, always wipe the oven dry

after cleaning. Avoid any plastic

parts, the roof of the oven and

door area.
