• Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones.
Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more
evenly when cooked together. For more even
results, reduce the power levels when cooking
large pieces of food.
• Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because
microwave energy heats water molecules very
efficiently.
• Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from
the outside to the center to distribute the heat
more evenly. This will allow the food to cook
faster. Constant stirring is not necessary.
• Turn over items
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or
whole cauliflower halfway through the cook
time.
This will help to expose all sides equally to
microwave energy.
• Food placement
Place delicate areas of food items, such as
asparagus tips, toward the center of the
turntable tray.
• Food arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken
pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier
parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.
• Let the food stand
After removing the food from the microwave,
cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let
it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food
finish in the center and avoids overcooking the
out edges, The length of stand time depends on
the density and surface area of the food items.
• Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper
Sandwiches and many other food types
containing pre-baked bread should be wrapped
prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent
the food items from drying out while heating.
