Microwave Hints
• Always keep the oven clean – avoid spillovers
and do not forget to clean under the glass tray
and the inside of the door.
• Use preferably round or oval casseroles with a
lid when cooking in your microwave oven.
• Do not use metal or metal decorated casseroles.
Certain plastic materials can melt and be
warped by hot food.
• Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass lid,
a plate or grease proof paper.
• Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted
directly in a bread basket or on a paper towel.
• If frozen food is heated in its package, the
package should be opened. Packages
containing metal or metal decoration must not
be used unless specifically recommended for
use in the microwave. Remove metal clips and
wire ties.
• Smaller pieces of aluminium foil can be used
to cover parts that easily overcook such as
chicken legs.
• Food with peel or skin should be pierced with
a fork – e.g. potatoes and sausages. Do not
boil eggs in the microwave oven as they can
explode.
• Put large, thick pieces close to the edge of the
casserole and try to cut the food in to even
sized pieces. Always place the food in the
centre of the oven.
• The food will be evenly cooked if you stir or
turn it a few times.
• Always set a shorter cooking time than
indicated in your recipe to avoid over cooking.
The larger the amount of food the longer it
takes.
• Use little or no water for vegetables.
• Use less salt and spices than for “normal”
cooking.
• Season afterwards.
• Allow a few minutes “standing” time after the
oven has switched off to ensure complete and
even cooking results.
• Always ensure food is piping hot throughout
before serving.
• Use pot holders or gloves when taking dishes
and food from the oven.
