popping to slow to 1-2 seconds.
* Transfer baby food to small dish and
heat carefully, stirring often. Check for
suitable temperature.
* Remove the screw cap and teat
before warming baby bottles. After
warming shake thoroughly. Check for
suitable temperature.
* Food with filling should be cut after
heating, to release steam and avoid
burns.
* Stir liquids briskly before and after
cooking for even heating.
* Use a deep bowl when cooking liquids
or cereals to prevent boiling over.
* For boiling or cooking liquids see
WARNING on page E-1.
* Remove food from can.
* Cook for the recommended time.
(These foods have high sugar and/ or
fat contents.)
* For microwave cooking, use a
microwave proof roasting rack to
collect drained juices.
Roasting rack:
* Check the utensils are suitable for
MICROWAVE cooking before you use
them.
* Use to shield food to prevent over
cooking.
* Watch for sparking. Reduce foil or

Check for doneness
Condensation
Shield foods
Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.

Food severely over-cooked can smoke or ignite.
Check recipe for suggestions: paper towels, microwave plastic
wrap or a lid. See Table on page E-10.
Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
(Helps keep oven clean)
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to cover thin areas of meats or
poultry in order to avoid overcooking.
Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during
cooking, if possible.
Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks should be turned
over once during cooking.
Rearrange foods like meatballs halfway through cooking both
from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
After cooking ensure adequate standing time.
Remove food from oven and stir if possible.
Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking
without overcooking.
Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been
reached.
Doneness signs include
–Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
–Poultry thigh joints move easily.
–Pork and poultry show no pinkness.
–Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Condensationisanormal part of microwave cooking.Thehumid-
ity and moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture in
