General guidelines
Covering
Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart.
NEVER pile foods on top of each other.
Arranging
Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be
placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are to the outside.
Starting temperature
Food temperature should be between 5-8
o
c before cooking.
The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food
from a fridge takes longer to reheat than food at room
temperature.
Turning and stirring
Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat and
poultry should be turned after half the cooking time.
Remove metal spoon when microwaving.
