MICROWAVE COOKING GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
The advantages of a microwave oven
A microwave oven is most useful for its
speed in cooking. Speedy cooking of
meals can be very helpful in some busy
families. Microwave cooking roughly
takes about one third to one quarter of
the conventional cooking time. Of course
this varies according to the density,
temperature and the amount of food
being cooked.
Foods are cooked so quickly in a
microwave oven that they can be cooked
in their own juices, with less or no
seasonings at all, thus retaining all their
natural flavours.
A microwave oven saves energy
because energy is only consumed during
the actual cooking time. There is no
preheating and no cooling down for a
microwave oven, so no energy is consum-
ed and wasted.
A microwave oven does not become
hot during cooking; only the foods get
hot. The kitchen remains coal always, and
this means comfort to the cook.
Microwave cooking also means less
washing-up. Foods can be cooked and
served in the same container, as they do
not get hot during cooking in a microwave
oven. Spatters and spills do not burn on
the oven walls, so it is easy to keep the
oven nice and clean.
Do not worry if you forget to defrost
the meat. The microwave oven can
defrost frozen food in a matter of
minutes. Cooking can then begin
immediately.
Reheating of foods in a microwave
oven is also another advantage for late
comers in the family. Reheating of food
will not spoil its appearance and flavour.
