Microwave Hints
Always keep the oven clean – avoid spill-
overs and do not forget to clean under the
turntable and the inside of the door.
It is preferable to use round or oval casse-
roles with a lid when cooking in your
microwave oven.
Do not use metal or metal decorated casser-
ole dishes. Certain plastic materials can melt
and be warped by hot food.
Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass
lid, a plate or grease proof paper.
Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted
directly in a bread basket or on a paper towel.
If frozen food is heated in its packaging, the
pack-aging should be opened. Packaging
containing metal or metal decoration must
not be used unless specifically recommen-
ded for use in the microwave. Remove
metal clips and wire ties.
Smaller pieces of aluminium foil can be used
to cover parts that easily overcook such as
chicken legs.
Food with peel or skin should be pierced
with a fork – e.g. potatoes and sausages.
Do not boil eggs in the microwave oven as
they can explode.
Put large, thick pieces close to the edge of
the casserole and try to cut the food into
even-sized pieces. Always place the food
in the centre of the oven.
The food will be more evenly cooked if you
stir or turn it regularly.
Always set a shorter cooking time than
indicated in your recipe to avoid overcoo-
king. The larger the amount of food the
longer it takes.
Use little or no water for vegetables.
Use less salt and spices than for conven-
tional cooking.
Season afterwards.
Allow a few minutes ‘standing time' after the
oven has switched off to ensure complete
and even cooking results.
Always ensure food is piping hot throug-
hout before serving.
Use gloves when taking dishes and food
from the oven.
