Cooking

Place the food in a microwave-proof dish and cover it.

When cooking, it is a good idea to select a power level of 800 W to start with and then when the food is hot reduce the power level to 450 W for more gentle continued cooking.

For dishes such as rice or semolina pudding, first select a power level of 800 W, and then reduce it to 150 W for simmering.

Tips on cooking

Vegetable cooking times depend on the texture of the vegetable.

Fresh vegetables contain more water than vegetables which have been stored, and usually cook more quickly. Add a little water to vegetables which have been kept stored.

Food taken straight from the refrigerator takes longer to cook than food which has been kept at room temperature.

Stir or turn food from time to time during cooking to help it cook more evenly.

Ensure that food such as meat and fish are thoroughly cooked for an appropriate length of time.

Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes and aubergines, should be pierced or the skin cut in several places before cooking to allow steam to escape and to prevent the food from bursting.

Eggs can only be cooked in their shells in the microwave oven in a specially designed egg-boiling device available from specialist shops.

Eggs can burst, even after they have been taken out of the oven.

Eggs can be cooked without their shells in the microwave oven, only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first.

The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.

After cooking

Be careful when removing a dish from the oven. It may be hot.

Although heat is not normally produced in the container itself by the microwaves (apart from stoneware), heat transfer from the food to the container may be considerable, making the container itself hot.

Allow food to stand for a few minutes at room temperature at the end of cooking to enable the heat to spread evenly throughout the food.
