COOKING TIPS
The following factors may affect the cooking result:
Food arrangement
Place thicker areas towards outside of dish, the thinner part towards the centre and spread it
evenly. Do not overlap if possible.
Cooking time length
Start cooking with a short time setting, evaluate it after it times out and extend it according to
the actual need. Over cooking may result in smoke and burns.
Cooking food evenly
Food such as chicken, hamburger or steak should be turned once during cooking.
Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir it from outside to centre of dish once or twice
during cooking
Allow standing time
After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven for an adequate length of time, this allows
it to complete its cooking cycle and cooling it down in a gradual manner
Whether the food is done
Color and hardness of food help to determine if it is done, these include:
-
Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge
-
Joints of poultry can be moved easily
-
Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood
-
Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork
Browning dish
When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always place a heat-resistant insulator
such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable and rotating ring.
Microwave safe plastic wrap
When cooking food with high fat content, do not allow the plastic wrap come into contact with
food as it may melt
Microwave safe plastic cookware
Some microwave safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking foods with high fat
and sugar content. Also, the preheating time specified in the dish instruction manual must not
be exceeded.
