1. Arrange food carefully, placing the thickest food towards outside of the dish.
2. Check cooking time and cook for the shortest amount of time indicated; add more if
needed. Overcooked food can smoke or ignite.
3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
4. Turn food once during microwave cooking to speed up the cooking of such foods as
chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and
from the centre of the dish to the outside.
UTENSILS GUIDE
1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent: it allows energy to pass through
the container and heat the food.
2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should
not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small
metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommended, as food in corners
tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminium foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Be
careful, don't use too much and keep a distance of 2,5 cm between foil and cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
