•Cooking times given in the cookbook are approximate. The cooking time depends on the condition, temperature and amount of food and on the type of cooking ware.

•Begin with the minimum cooking time to help prevent overcooking. If the food is not sufficiently cooked you can always cook it for a little longer.

N.B.: If the recommended cooking times are exceeded the food will be spoiled and in extreme circumstances could catch fire and possibly damage the interior of the oven.

•When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently as these types of containers ignite if overheated.

•Do not use recycled paper products (ex. Kitchen Roll) unless the paper product is labeled as safe for microwave oven use. Recycled paper products may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when use.

•Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags before placing the bags in oven.

2)Small Quantities of Foods

•Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long. If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and remove the plug from the socket.

3)Eggs

•Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs by MICROWAVE. Pressure may build up and the eggs will explode.

4)Piercing Skin

•Food with non porous skins, such as potatoes, egg yolks, chicken wings and sausages must be pierced before cooking by MICROWAVE to prevent bursting.

Utensils/Foil

•Do not heat any closed cans or bottles because they might explode.

•Metal containers or dishes with metallic trim should not be used during Microwave cooking. Sparking will occur.

•If you use any aluminum foil, meat spikes or metal ware, the distance between them and the oven walls and door should be at least 2 cm to prevent sparking.

9)Feeding Bottles/Baby Food Jars

•The top and teat or lid must be removed from feeding bottles or baby food jars before placing in the oven.

•The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken.

•The temperature has to be checked before consumption to avoid burns.

5)Meat Thermometer

•Use a meat thermometer to check the degree of cooking of roasts and poultry only when the meat has been removed from the oven. Do not use a conventional meat thermometer when using MICROWAVE because it may cause sparking.

6)Liquids

•When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:

a) Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks. b) Do not overheat.

c) Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the cooking time.

d) After heating, allow it to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container.

e) Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.

10.Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Reflection

Microwaves are reflected by metal just as a ball is bounced off a wall. A combination of stationary (interior walls) and rotating metal (turntable or stirrer fan) helps assure that the microwaves are well distributed within the oven cavity to produce even cooking.

Transmission

Microwaves pass through some materials such as paper, glass and plastic much like sunlight shining through a window. Because these substances do not absorb or reflect the microwave energy, they are ideal materials for microwave oven cooking containers.

Absorption

Microwaves are absorbed by food. They penetrate to a depth of about 2 to 4cm. Microwave energy excites the molecules in the food (especially water, fat and sugar molecules), and causes them to vibrate very quickly. The vibration causes friction and heat is produced. In large foods, the heat which is produced by friction is conducted to the center to finish cooking.

When adapting conventional recipes for microwave cooking, reduce the conventional cooking time by one quarter or one third.

e.g. A chicken which takes 1 hour to cook in a moderate oven will take 15 to 20 minutes on MEDIUM Power in your microwave oven.

Use similar microwave recipes to help you adapt conventional recipes. Remember, it is always best to undercook a recipe and then add an extra minute or two to finish it off.

Here are some other tips that may help:

•Reduce liquids in a conventional recipe by one half to two thirds, e.g. 1cup (250 ml) should be reduced to 1⁄2 cup (125 ml).

•Add more thickening such as flour or cornflour to sauces and gravies if you do not reduce the liquid.

•Reduce seasonings slightly in a recipe where ingredients do not have time to simmer by microwave.

•Do not salt meats, poultry or vegetables before cooking; otherwise, they will toughen and dry out.

•If one ingredient takes longer to cook than the others, precook it in the microwave oven first. Onion, celery and potato are examples.

•If meat or vegetables are not being browned before cooking, omit any oil or fat that would have been used for browning.

•Reduce leavening agents for cakes by one quarter and increase liquids by one quarter.

•Biscuits require a stiff dough. Increase flour by about 20 percent. Substitute brown sugar for white sugar and use biscuit recipes that have dark spices or require icing.

Because of the short cooking time, biscuits don’t have to brown. Chill dough for half an hour before baking. This produces a crisper biscuit. Bake biscuits on a glass tray lined with greaseproof paper.

•Since microwaves penetrate foods about two centimetres from the top, bottom and sides, mixtures in round shapes and rings cook more evenly. Corners receive more energy and may overcook.

•Items with a lot of water, such as rice and pasta, cook in about the same time as they would on a conventional stove. (Refer to Rice and Pasta chapter.)

Select recipes that convert easily to microwave cooking such as casseroles, stews, baked chicken, fish and vegetable dishes. The results from foods such as grilled meats, cooked souffles or two-crust pies could be less than satisfactory. Never attempt to deep fry in your microwave oven.

Plan your meals so that the food will not all need last minute cooking or attention at the same time. The special features of microwave cookery make it easy to serve meals with everything piping hot. Cooking of some foods may be interrupted while you start others, without harming the nutritional value or flavour of either.

A recipe which requires standing time can be microwaved first and another food cooked while it stands. Dishes prepared in advance can be reheated briefly before serving. It does take some experience and time to cook with confidence. Microwaves are fast so you will have to do some experimenting. You might find you will use your conventional range in conjunction with your microwave oven. For example, while cooking the roast in the microwave oven, you can be cooking the vegetables and gravy on the range top. This can also be done the other way around. Prepare your meals as follows.

1.Firstly, cook the most dense item (roast or casserole). Drain and retain meat juice from joints then cover with foil.

2.Cook the potatoes, rice or pasta.

3.Cover with foil for standing.

4.Cook greens and other vegetables.

5.Cover with foil for standing.

6.Cook the gravy with the retained meat juices, stock and thickening.

7.Carve the roast and serve the vegetables and gravy.

While you are learning to plan meals, you may get a bit behind time. Don’t worry. Dinner servings may be suitably reheated on MEDIUM-HIGH, at 2 minutes per serving.

If you prefer not to use foil, cover food with saucepan lids. A metal lid will retain the heat for at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, how can you cook all the vegetables at the same time? Simply place potatoes and pumpkin in one dish and less dense vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, beans and peas in another. Sprinkle greens with water. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Cook on HIGH for approximately 6 to 8 minutes for a serving for four people. Remember, if you increase the quantity of vegetables, increase the cooking time. Fresh and frozen vegetables can be mixed on a vegetable platter, but remember the latter are not as dense as fresh vegetables, as they have been blanched before freezing.

If vegetables are cut to a similar size, they can be cooked in separate ramekins or small dishes at the same time.
