MICROWAVE COOKING

1. ARRANGEMENT

Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.

Eg. Arrange vegetables in a shallow dish in the following way:

Hard Vegetables around the outside, Soft Vegetables in the

centre, Medium Vegetables in-between.

2. COVERING

Cover foods in the microwave if you would normally cover the food in your ordinary oven, or

to retain moisture. Cover foods such as Vegetables, Casseroles, or when Reheating.

Use to cover foods:

3. SHIELDING

LID

Shield using small pieces of aluminium foil to shield thin areas of meat, fish and poultry or

edges of cakes to prevent overcooking.

4. STIRRING

Stir foods from the outside to the centre of the dish, once or twice during cooking if possible.

Eg. Casseroles and Sauces.

5. PIERCING

Pierce potatoes, eggs, oysters, tomatoes or any foods with a skin or membrane to allow

steam to escape.

6. STANDING TIME

Standing time is important. After cooking or defrosting ensure adequate standing time. This

allows the food to continue cooking or heating. Refer to cooking guides for each menu or

according to manufacturers instructions.

7. CONDENSATION

Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and moisture in food will

influence the amount of condensation in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause

as much condensation as uncovered foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not

blocked.
