Basic principles of microwave cookery
■
Arrange the pieces of food evenly in the microwave .
■
Cut the food into pieces of approximately the same size .
■
Place the thickest pieces near the edges .
■
Pay attention to the cooking time . Select the shortest possible stated cooking
time and increase as required . Food that is cooked too long can begin to
smoke or catch fire .
■
Cover the food during cooking with a lid suitable for microwave cookery .
The lid prevents splashing and helps in the even cooking of the food .
■
While cooking, turn the food in the microwave once so that items such as
chicken or hamburgers are cooked more quickly . Large pieces of food, such
as joints of meat, must be turned at least once .
■
Completely rearrange small food items, such as meatballs, after half the
cooking time . Turn the meatballs and move them from the middle of the plate
to the edge .
