•Always keep the oven clean – avoid spill-overs and do not forget to clean under the glass tray and the inside of the door.

•Preferably use round or oval casseroles with a lid when cooking in your micro- wave oven.

•Do not use metal or metal decorated casserole dishes. 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 packa- ging, the packaging should be opened. Packaging 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 sau- sages. Do not boil eggs in the micro- wave oven as they can explode.

•Put large, thick pieces close to the edge of the casserole and try to cut the food into even-sized pieces. Always place the food in the centre of the oven.

•The food will be more evenly cooked if you stir or turn it regularly.

•Always set a shorter cooking time than indicated in your recipe to avoid overcooking. The larger the amount of food the longer it takes.

•Use little or no water for vegetables.

•Use less salt and spices than with tradi- tional cooking methods.

•Season at the end of the programme.

•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 gloves when taking dishes and food from the oven.
