3.3.10 Suggestions for getting
the best results
To help you achieve the best possible results from
your microwave oven, read the following sugges-
tions below;
• Storage temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator
take longer to cook than the same foods would
at room temperature.
• Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones.
Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more
evenly when cooked together. For more even
results, reduce the power levels when cooking
large pieces of food.
• Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because
microwave energy heats water molecules very
efficiently.
• Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable
from the outside to the center to distribute the
heat more evenly. This will allow the food to
cook faster. Constant stirring is not necessary.
• Turn over items
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or
whole cauliflower halfway through the cook
time. This will help to expose all sides equally to
microwave energy.
• Food placement
Place delicate areas of food items, such as as-
paragus tips, toward the center of the turntable
tray.
• Food arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chick-
en pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier
parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.
• Let the food stand
After removing the food from the microwave,
cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let
it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food
finish in the center and avoids overcooking the
out edges, The length of stand time depends on
the density and surface area of the food items.
• Wrapping in paper towels or waxed
paper
Sandwiches and many other food types con-
taining prebaked bread should be wrapped prior
to placing in the microwave to help prevent the
food items fro drying out while heating.
