CLING FILM AND BAGS
RECOMMENDED USE ANDTIPS
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
