Microwave Cooking Principles; Utensils Guide - Hkoenig VIO34 Manuel D'utilisation

1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and
add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to
cook evenly.
4. Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods
as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at
least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top
to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it
allows energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwave can not penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with
metallic trim should not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may
contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommending, as
food in corners tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of
exposed areas. But be careful don't use too much and keep a distance of 1
inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.
