Cooking Techniques
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
7

from the center of the dish to the outside
Cooking Utensils Guide
1 The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to
pass through the container and heat the food
2 Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not
be used
3 Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small
metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires
4 Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners
tends to overcook
5 Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas But
be careful don’t use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2 54cm) between foil and
cavity
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
