RECOMMENDED USE AND TIPS
remove wire TwisT-Ties
from paper or plastic bags
before placing the bag in the microwave oven
cavity.
cling film shoulD be scoreD
or pricked with a fork
to relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting
because steam builds up during cooking.
since microwaves
penetrate the food to a limited
depth, if there are a number of pieces to cook at
once, arrange the pieces in a circle to create
more outside pieces.
small pieces
cook more quickly than large pieces.
cuT fooD
into pieces of equal size for uniform
cooking.
moisTure evaporaTes
during microwave cooking.
a microwave-proof cover
on the container helps
reduce moisture loss.
mosT fooDs will conTinue
to cook after microwave
has nished cooking it. Therefore, always allow
for standing time to complete the cooking.
sTirring is usually necessary
during microwave
cooking. When stirring, bring the cooked
portions on the outside edges towards the
centre and the less-cooked centre portions
towards the outside.
place Thin slices of meaT
on top of each other or
interlace them.Thicker slices such as meat loaf
and sausages have to be placed close to each
other.
LIQUIDS
liquiDs may overheaT
beyond boiling point
without visibly bubbling.This could cause hot
liquids to suddenly boil over.
ToprevenT This possibiliTy:
qAvoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
wStir the liquid before placing the container
in the microwave oven cavity and leave
the teaspoon in the container.
eAfter heating, stir again before carefully
