Microwave Cooking Guidelines
Guidelines for General Microwave Cooking:
• Cook the food for the shortest time possible. If necessary, add cooking time until the food reaches
the appropriate temperature.
• The quantity, denseness, and temperature of food will all determine the cooking time necessary.
Check for doneness, and if necessary cook or reheat for additional time.
• Foods high in fat and sugar cook faster than foods with high water content.
• Foods similar in size and shape cook more evenly.
• When cooking large pieces of food, reduce the power level to allow for more even cooking.
