MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
1) Arrange food carefully, place thickest areas toward outside of dish.
2) Watch cooking time, cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more time as
needed.
3) Cover foods before cooking check recipe for suggestions: paper towels, microwave plastic wrap or
a lid.
Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly. (Helps keep oven clean).
4) Shield foods
Use small pieces of aluminium foil to cover thin areas of meats or poultry to avoid overcooking.
5) Stir foods: From outside to centre of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.
6) Turn foods
Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks should be turned over once during cooking.
7) Rearrange foods: Like meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the
centre of the dish to the outside.
8) Allow standing time
After cooking ensure adequate standing time.
Remove food from oven and stir if possible.
Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
8) Check for doneness
Look for signs indicating that cooking temperature has been reached. Doneness signs include:
-Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
-Poultry thigh joints move easily.
-Pork and poultry show no pinkness..
-Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
9) Condensation
A normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and moisture in food will influence the
amount of moisture in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as
uncovered foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.
10) Microwave safe plastic wrap for cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in
contact with the food as it may melt.
11) Microwave safe plastic cookware
Some microwave safe plastic cookware are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar
content.
