2. TURNING  
Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas to-  
ward outside of dish.  
Foods such as poultry and joints of meat should be  
turned over after half the cooking time.  
3. COVERING  
4. PIERCING  
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, Casse-  
roles, or when Reheating.  
Piercepotatoes,eggs,tomatoesoranyfoodswith  
a skin or membrane to allow steam to escape.  
Use to cover foods:  
TOMATO  
EGG  
PLASTIC WRAP  
PAPER TOWEL  
LID  
5. SHIELDING  
6. STANDING TIME  
Shield using small pieces of aluminium foil to shield  
thin areas of meat, fish and poultry or edges of  
cakes to prevent overcooking.  
Standing time is important. After cooking or de-  
frosting ensure adequate standing time. This al-  
lows the food to continue cooking or heating.  
8. SIZE  
FISH  
CHICKEN  
7. STIRRING  
Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To  
speed cooking, cut pieces smaller than 5 cm so  
microwaves can penetrate to the centre from all  
sides. For even cooking, make all the pieces the  
same size.  
Stir foods from the outside to the centre of the dish,  
once or twice during cooking if possible.  
Eg. Casseroles and Sauces.  
9. DENSITY  
10. FAT AND BONE  
The depth to which microwaves penetrate food  
varies depending on the food's density. Porous  
foods like minced beef or mashed potatoes micro-  
wave faster than dense ones like steak or whole  
potatoes  
Marblingwithinmeat, orathin, evenlayeroffaton  
a roast, speeds cooking. Large fatty areas or  
excess drippings in dish attract energy away from  
meat, and slows cooking. Centre bones do not  
affect cooking, but bone on the side of meat  
conducts heat to the areas next to it.  
11.STARTING TEMPERATURE  
12. QUANTITY  
Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to heat  
than food at room temperature. Cooking times in  
this book are based on normal storage tempera-  
tures. Since rooms, refrigerators and freezers differ  
in temperature, check cooking result at the mini-  
mum time.  
Microwave cooking times are directly related to  
the amount of food in the oven. Because energy  
is absorbed by the food itself, one potato or a  
single piece of chicken cooks rapidly. When the  
energy is divided among several items, cooking  
takes more time.  
14. GENERAL  
Your microwave oven is capable of heating food  
and beverages very quickly therefore, it is very  
important that you select the appropriate cooking  
time and power level for the type and quantity of  
food to be heated. If you are unsure of the cooking  
time and power level required, begin with low  
cooking times and power levels until the food is  
sufficiently heated evenly throughout.  
13.CONDENSATION  
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cook-  
ing. The humidity and moisture in food will influence  
the amount of condensation in the oven. Generally,  
coveredfoodswillnotcauseasmuchcondensation  
as uncovered foods. Ensure that the ventilation  
openings are not blocked.
