FOR BEST RESULTS
• Foods need be cooked in a microwave safe
container, either plastic, pyrex or ceramic.
• Always cover container with a microwave
safe plastic lid, paper towel or microwave
safe plastic wrap.
• When using plastic wrap, allow steam to
escape, by providing venting path at the
top. To do this cover tightly and seal edges.
Using a knife, make large slits in the top for
steam to escape.
• Moist foods will cook more evenly because
microwave energy heats water molecules
very efficiently. Add approximately
1 tablespoon of water per 100g of food.
• For optimal results, arrange larger and
thicker foods such as broccoli or the thick
end of a chicken drumstick around the
edges of the turntable.
This allows maximum penetration
of the microwaves through the food
during cooking.
• It’s important to stir or turn foods halfway
during cooking cycle. Microwaves will
only penetrate about 2.5cm into the food.
Turning and/or stirring will ensure food
will be cooked more evenly.
• Stir foods such as casseroles and soups
from the outside to the centre to distribute
heat more evenly. Constant stirring is
not necessary.
• Small pieces of food cook faster than large
ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will
cook more evenly when cooked together.
• Let the food stand after removing from the
microwave. Keep covered and stand for
approximately 5 minutes. Note, standing
time will depend on the food type, density
and surface area.
• Be careful when removing lids or plastic
wrap from your microwave cooked foods.
Steam can build up and cause serious
burns on face or hands.
