Cling film
Cling film helps
keep the food
moist and the
trapped steam
assists in
speeding up
cooking times.
However, it should
be pierced before
cooking, to allow
excess steam to escape. Always take care
when removing cling film from a dish as the
build-up of steam will be very hot. Always
purchase cling film that states on the packet
“suitable for microwave cooking” and use as a
covering only. Do not line dishes with cling film.
Standing time
Meat joints -
Stand 8 - 10 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil.
Fish, vegetables, egg dishes,
convenience foods, cakes
- Stand 2 to 5
minutes (wrapped in aluminium foil for jacket
potatoes).
Defrosting - It is essential to allow standing
time to complete the process. This can vary
from 5 mins. e.g. raspberries, to up to 2 hours
for a joint of meat.
If food is not cooked after standing time,
return to oven and cook for additional time.
