COOKING TECHNIQUES
• Load food carefully. Place the thickest parts facing the edges of the dish.
• Be careful with the cooking time. Cook your food in the shortest time indicated and add
more if you need it. Overcooked food may smoke or catch re.
• Cover food while cooking. Covering prevents spattering and helps food cook evenly.
• Turn food over while it is cooking in the microwave to speed up the cooking of foods like
chicken or hamburgers. Large dishes such as roasts should be turned at least once. Stir
meatballs or similar dishes halfway through cooking to achieve even heating.
COOKWARE GUIDE
• Microwaves do not pass through metal. Use only utensils suitable for use in microwave
ovens. Metal food and drink containers cannot be used during microwave cooking. Use only
metal containers of the size and shape specied by the manufacturer that are suitable for
microwave cooking.
• Metal utensils or dishes with metal edges should not be used.
• Do not use recycled paper products for microwave cooking as they may contain small metal
fragments that can cause res or sparks.
• Round or oval plates are recommended rather than square or oblong ones as food tends to
overcook.
• Narrow strips of aluminum foil can be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But
be careful not to use too much and to keep a distance of at least 2.5 cm between the paper
and the inside walls of the microwave.
• The following list is a general guide to help you select the proper utensils:
