Microwave cooking – tips
1
Carefullyarrangethefood.Placethethickestpiecesnexttotheedgesofthedish.
2
Checkthecookingtime.Cookfortheshortesttimeindicatedandifnecessaryextend
thecookingtime.Heavilyburnedproductsmaygeneratesmokeorcatchre.
3
Coverthefoodwhilecooking.Thecovershallpreventthefoodfrom“splashingout”and
ensureevencooking.
4
Duringcookingturnproductsoverinordertospeedupthecookingprocessofsuch
foodsas chickenor hamburgers.Turnoverlargeproductssuchasroastmeatatleast
once.
5
Halfwaythroughthecookingtimechangethearrangementoffoodproductssuchas
meatballs.Theproductsplacedonthetopshouldbemovedtothebottomandthoseinthe
middleshouldbemovedtowardstheedgesofthedish.

Kitchen utensils – tips
Useutensilssuitableforuseinmicrowaveovens.Acontainermadeoftransparentmaterial
isidealforuseinmicrowaveovensasthemicrowavescaneasilypenetratethroughitin
ordertoheatthefood.
1
Donotusemetalutensilsordisheswithmetaltrims–microwavesdonotpenetrate
throughmetal.
2
Beforecookinginthemicrowaveovenremovewrappingsmadeofrecycledpaper,as
theymaycontainmetalparticleswhichmaycausesparkingand/orre.
3
Werecommendusingoval/rounddishesratherthansquare/rectangularones,asfood
inthecornersofthedishgetsburnedmoreoften.
4
Whengrillingprotecttheexposed areasfromgetting burnedbycovering themwith
narrowstripsofaluminiumfoil,maintainingthedistanceofminimum3cmbetweenthefoil
andtheoveninternalwalls.
