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 micro-
waving 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 from the center of the dish to
the outside.
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 can not 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.
