20GENERAL GUIDE LINESSince microwave cooking to some extent is different fromtraditional cooking, the following general guidelines should beconsidered whenever you use your microwave ovenIf the food is undercookedCheck if:• You have selected the correct power level.• The selected time is sufficient-the times given in the recipesare approximate. They depend on initial temperature, weightand density of the food etc.• The container is appropriate.If the food is overcooked,i.e. dried out or burntBefore you cook again, consider whether:• The power level was too high.• The set time was too long-the times in the recipes areapproximate. They depend on initial temperature, weight anddensity of the food etc.Points to remember when defrosting• The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallowrectangular packets defrost more quickly than a deep block.Separate pieces as they begin to defrost; free flow slicesdefrost more easily.• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start tobecome warm.• When defrosting, it is better to under thaw the food slightly andallow the process to finish during the standing time.The amount of foodThe more food you want to prepare the longer it takes. A rule ofthumb is that double amount of food requires almost double thetime. If one potato takes four minutes to cook, approximatelyseven minutes are required to cook two potatoes.Starting temperature of foodThe lower the temperature of the food which is being put into themicrowave oven, the longer time it takes. Food at roomtemperature will be reheated more quickly than food atrefrigerator temperature.Composition of the foodFood with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated faster than foodcontaining a lot of water. fat and sugar will also reach a highertemperature than water in the cooking process.The more dense the food, the longer it takes to heat. “Verydense” food like meat takes longer time to reheat than lighter,more porous food like sponge cakes.Size and shapeSmaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger piecesand uniform pieces of food cook more evenly than irregularlyshaped foods.With unevenly shaped food, the thinner parts will cook fasterthan the thicker areas. Place the thinner chicken wings and legsto the centre of the dish.Stirring, turning of foodsStirring and turning of foods are techniques used in conventionaland well as in microwave cooking to distribute the heat quickly tothe centre of the dish and avoid over-cooking at the outer edgesof the food.Covering food helps:• To reduce spattering• To shorten cooking times• To retain food moistureAll covering, which will allow microwaves to pass through aresuitable-See above “Which utensils can be used in the oven?”Releasing pressure in foodsSeveral foods are tightly covered by a skin or membrane.These foods should be pricked with a fork or cocktail stick torelease the pressure and to prevent bursting, as steam builds upwithin them during cooking. This applies to potatoes, chickenlivers, sausages, egg yolks and some fruits.Standing timeAlways allow the food to stand for some time after using theoven. standing time after defrosting, cooking/reheating alwaysimproves the result since the temperature will then be evenlydistributed through out the food.In a microwave oven foods continue to cook even when themicrowave energy is turned off. They are no longer cooking bymicrowaves, but they are still being cooked by the conduction ofthe high residual heat to the centre of the food. The length of standing time depends on the volume and densityof the food. Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes youto remove the food from the oven and take it to the serving table.However, with larger, denser foods, the standiing time may beas long as 10 minutes. During ‘standing’, the internaltemperature of the food will rise by as much as 8˚C and the foodwill finish cooking in this time.Arranging foodThis is done in several ways in microwave cooking to give moreeven cooking results.If you are cooking several items of the same food such as jacketpotatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniformcooking. When cooking foods of uneven shapesor thickness, place the smaller or thinner areaof the food towards the centre of the dishwhere it will be heated last.Uneven foods such as fish should be arranged in the oven withthe tails to the centre.If you are saving a meal in the refrigerator or ‘plating’a meal for reheating, arrange the thicker,denser foods to the outside of the plate and the thinner or less dense foods in the middle. Place thin slices of meat on top of each other or interlace them. Thicker slices such asmeat loaf and sausages have to be placedclose to each other. Gravy or sauce should bereheated in a separate container.Choose a tall, narrow container rather than a lowand wide container. When reheating gravy,sauce or soup, do not fill the container more than2/3.When you cook or reheat whole fish, score theskin this prevents cracking.Shield the tail and head with small pieces offoil to prevent over-cooking but ensure the foildoes not touch the sides of the oven.2/3
21COOKING UTENSILSRecommended Use•Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and Dishes - Use for heating or cooking.• Microwave browning dish - Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes.Follow the directions provided with you browning dish.• Microwaveable plastic wrap - Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape andavoid placing it directly on the food.• Wax paper - Use as a cover to prevent spattering.• Paper towels, and napkins - Use for short term heating and covering; they absorb excess moisture andprevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can catch fire.• Thermometers - Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in severalplaces. Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the oven.• Microwave cling film, microwave roasting bags - Microwave cling film and bags must be vented for steamto escape, pierce in 4~5 places. Do not use plastic or metal ties as they may melt or catch fire due to electrical‘arcing’.Limited Use• Aluminum foil - Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much toil candamage your oven, so be careful.• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware - Use these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe.” If they are notlabeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metalic trim.• Plastic - Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe.” Other plastics can melt.• Thin plastic, paper, straw and wooden containers - Always attend the oven closely. Look at the oven fromtime to time when cooking or reheating food in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustiblematerial. Only use for warming food. Pay special attention as over-heating may cause a fire in your oven.Not Recommended• Glass jars and bottles - Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave, and can shatter.• Paper bags - These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.• Styrofoam plates and cups - These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.• Plastic storage and food containers - Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.• Metal utensils - These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.COOKING INSTRUCTIONSUtensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave ovens.UTENSILS TESTPlace the utensil in question next to a glass measure filled with water, in the microwave oven. Microwave athigh power for 1-2 minutes. If the water heats up, but the utensil remains cool, the utensil is microwave-safe.However if the utensil becomes warm, microwaves are being absorbed by the utensil and it should not be in themicrowave oven. You probably have many items on hand in your kitcken right now that can be used as cookingequipment in your microwave oven. Read through the following checklist.
22MICROWAVING PRINCIPLESMicrowave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments withRADAR in World War ll. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally andmanmade sources. Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and carphones.In a microwave oven,electricity isconverted intomicrowave by theMAGNETRON.REFLECTION The microwavesbounce off the metalwalls and the metaldoor screen.TRANSMISSION Then they pass throughthe cooking containers tobe absorbed by the watermolecules in the food, allfoods contain water to amore or lesser extent.ABSORPTIONThe microwaves cause the water molecules tovibrate which causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. Thisheat then cooks the food. Microwaves are alsoattracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods highin these will cook more quickly. Microwaves canonly penetrate to a depth of 11/2 - 2 inches(4-5cm)and as heat spreads through the food byconduction, just as in a traditional oven, the foodcooks from the outside inwards.HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD▲▲▲WEIGHT & MEASURE CONVERSION CHARTOunces Hundredths of a Pound Tenths of a Pound Grams1-2 .06-.15 0.1 503-4 .16-.25 0.2 1005-6 .26-.35 0.3 1507 .36-.45 0.4 2008-9 .46-.55 0.5 25010-11 .56-.65 0.6 30012-13 .66-.75 0.7 35014 .76-.85 0.8 40015-16 .86-.95 0.9 450■WEIGHT DEFROST AND COOK CONVERSION CHARTPOUNDS(lb.)

23STANDING TIMEDense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes,require standing time(inside or outside of the oven)after cooking, to allow heat to finish conducting tocook the center completely. Wrap meat joints andjacket potatoes in aluminium foil while standing.Meat joints need approx. 10-15 minutes, jacketpotatoes 5 minutes. Other foods such as platedmeal, vegetables, fish etc require 2-5 minutesstanding. After defrosting food, standing timeshould also be allowed. If food is not cooked afterstanding time, return to the oven and cook foradditional time.MOISTURE CONTENTMany fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary intheir moisture content throughout the season,particularly jacket potatoes. For this reason cookingtimes may have to be adjusted. Dry ingredients e.g.rice, pasta, can dry out during storage so cookingtimes may differ.DENSITYPorous airy foods heat more quickly than denseheavy foods.CLING FILMCling film helps keep the food moist and thetrapped steam assists in speeding up cookingtimes. Pierce before cooking to allow excess steamto escape. Always take care when removing clingfilm from a dish as the build-up of steam will bevery hot.SHAPEEven shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better bymicrowave when in a round container rather thansquare.SPACINGFoods cook more quickly and evenly if spacedapart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other.STARTING TEMPERATUREThe colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up.Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than foodat room temperature.LIQUIDSAll liquids must be stirred before and duringheating. Water especially must be stirred beforeand during heating, to avoid eruption. Do not heatliquids that have previously been boiled. DO NOTOVERHEAT.TURNING & STIRRINGSome foods require stirring during cooking. Meatand poultry should be turned after half the cookingtime.ARRANGINGIndividual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops,should be placed on a dish so that the thicker partsare towards the outside.QUANTITYSmall quantities cook faster than large quantities,also small meals will reheat more quickly than largeportions.PIERCINGThe skin or membrane on some foods will causesteam to build up during cooking. These foodsmust be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeledoff before cooking to allow the steam to escape.Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all needto be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPTTO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.COVERINGCover foods with microwave cling film or a lid.Cover fish, vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do notcover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes or pastryitems.COOKING TECHNIQUES
24DEFROSTING GUIDEGENERAL INFORMATION➪Put the food on a microwave rack (roasts, bone-in pieces) or in a microwave casserole (small piecessuch as cubes or strips) or weigh at home on a kitchen scale. Round number to the nearest tenth ofa pound and choose that number with each item pads.➪The shape of food items, especially larger ones, will vary affect the way defrost. Always check thestatus after the standing time. Fish, seafood and poultry should still be somewhat icy in the centerthe held under cold running water to finish defrosting. If more time is needed, use DEFROST by timeto add time in small increments.➪Halfway through the defrosting process, a series of beeps will indicate that it is time to change theposition of the item being defrosted. The includes turning over or rotating the item, separatingdefrosted pieces or sections, or shielding.➪Shielding means to use a 2-inch strip of aluminum foil to protect thinner or unevenly shaped partfrom beginning to cook. Microwave energy will not penetrate the foil. Some rules apply to the use offoil:Do not let the foil pieces touch each other or the sides of the microwave oven.Be sure that all ends are touched under and lie flat to the food.Remember to adjust foil when a item is turned over and cover with wax paper.➪To prepare food for freezer storage(and later defrosting), wrap tightly in moisture proof packaging. Ifusing freezer plastic bags, be sure to let all the air out to prevent freezer bump on the food. Packageso that food is as evenly shaped as possible ease in defrostingCOMBINATION MICROWAVE OVENS:1) Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be inserted in a microwave oven as theymay create a fire or risk of electric shock.2) Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can bum off the pad and touch electrical partsinvolving a risk of electric shock.3) Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in this oven whennot in use.4) Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overtheating of theoven.

31CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVENTurn the oven off before cleaning.Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven wetal, plate tray wipewith a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasivesis not recommended.The outside oven surface should be cleaned with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a soft cloth. To preventdamage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on ControlPanel.If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur whenthe microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates malfunction of the unit.12345
32USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELYGeneral UseDo not attempt to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.Do not place any object between the oven front frame and the door or allow residue to build up on sealing surfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.Do not subject the oven door to strain or weight such as a child hanging on an open door.This could cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury to you and damage to the oven.Do not operate the oven if door seals or sealing surfaces are damaged; or if door is bent; or if hinges are looseor broken.Do not operate the oven empty. This will damage the oven.Do not attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. They may catch on fire.Do not use recycled paper products as they may contain impurities which may cause sparks or fires.Do not hit or strike the control panel with hard objects. This can damage the oven.FoodNever use your microwave oven for home canning. The oven is not designed for proper home canning.Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.Always use the minimum recipe cooking time. It is better to undercook rather than overcook foods. Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven for more cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done.Heat small quantities of food or foods with low moisture carefully. These can quickly dry out, burn or catch on fire.Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build up and eggs can explode.Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and sausages are examples of food with non-porous skins.These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.Always stir liquids before heating. Heated liquids can erupt, if not mixed with air.Do not leave the oven unattended while popping corn.Do not pop corn in a paper bag unless it is the commercially prepared Microwave Popcorn product. The kernelscan overheat and ignite a brown paper bag.Do not put packaged Microwave Popcorn bags directly on the oven tray. Place the package on a microwavesafe glass or ceramic plate to avoid overheating and cracking the oven tray.Do not exceed the Microwave Popcorn manufacturers' suggested popping time. Longer popping does not yieldmore popcorn but it can result in scorch, burn of fire. Remember, the Popcorn bag and tray can be too hot tohandle. Remove with caution and use pot holders.ARCINGIf you see arcing, open the door and correct the problem.Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven.Arcing is caused by:• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold rimmed dishes, in the microwave.• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.

34QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (continued)* Q : Why is standing time recommended after the cooking operation has been completed?* A : Standing time is very important.With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, not in the oven.
