Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
Turn foods over once during microwave cooking to speed cooking of such foods as chicken
and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and
from the center of the dish to the outside.
UTENSILS GUIDE
The ideal material for a microwave utensil is material which is transparent. This allows
energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
A microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim
should not be used.
Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain
small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners
tends to overcook.
