Microwave Hints
• Always keep the oven clean – avoid spill-
overs and do not forget to clean under the
turntable and the inside of the door.
• It is preferable to use round or oval casse-
roles with a lid when cooking in your
microwave oven.
• Do not use metal or metal decorated casser-
ole dishes. Certain plastic materials can melt
and be warped by hot food.
• Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass
lid, a plate or grease proof paper.
• Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted
directly in a bread basket or on a paper towel.
• If frozen food is heated in its packaging, the
pack-aging should be opened. Packaging
containing metal or metal decoration must
not be used unless specifically recommen-
ded for use in the microwave. Remove
metal clips and wire ties.
• Smaller pieces of aluminium foil can be used
to cover parts that easily overcook such as
chicken legs.
• Food with peel or skin should be pierced
with a fork – e.g. potatoes and sausages.
Do not boil eggs in the microwave oven as
they can explode.
• Put large, thick pieces close to the edge of
the casserole and try to cut the food into
even-sized pieces. Always place the food
in the centre of the oven.
• The food will be more evenly cooked if you
stir or turn it regularly.
• Always set a shorter cooking time than
indicated in your recipe to avoid overcoo-
king. The larger the amount of food the
longer it takes.
• Use little or no water for vegetables.
• Use less salt and spices than for conven-
tional cooking.
• Season afterwards.
• Allow a few minutes ‘standing time' after the
oven has switched off to ensure complete
and even cooking results.
• Always ensure food is piping hot throug-
hout before serving.
• Use gloves when taking dishes and food
from the oven.
