Working with Microwaves

Before using any dish, make sure that it is appropriate
for use in microwaves (SEE ADVICE ON THE USE OF
UTENSILS AND RECIPIENTS).
Always make a slit in the food's shell before cooking it.
Whenever heating liquids use a recipient with a large
opening to allow the vapour to escape.
Remember that...
1. Larger quantities of food require more cooking time.
2. The lower the food temperature the more cooking
time is needed.
3. Less dense foods cook faster.
4. An even distribution of the food in the oven
guarantees better results. The cooking of different
types of foods simultaneously is possible by placing
the dense food in an outside circle and the less dense
in the centre of the plate.
5. Better results are achieved by allowing the food to
stand before serving because it continues to cook for
some time after the oven is switched off.
6. The cooking time may be shortened and the liquids
preserved (the food doesn't dry out) by covering the
food. The lids should be transparent to allow the
microwaves through and they should have a small
opening for the vapour to escape.
