When cooking in the microwave... bear the following in mind:
1. The lower the temperature, the longer the cooking time will be.
2. Food containing a lot of liquid will heat up more quickly.
3. Distributing the food evenly on the turntable will produce more uniform cooking results. By
placing denser foods around the outside of the plate and less dense foods in the centre, different
types of food can be heated at the same time.
4. The oven door may be opened at any time. When it is opened, the oven will switch off
automatically. The microwave oven will only resume operation after the door has been closed
and the power button pressed.
5. Covered food requires a shorter cooking time and retains more of its properties. Lids must allow
microwaves to pass through and have small holes which let steam evaporate.
