Microwave Cooking Guidelines

Guidelines for General Microwave Cooking:

•Cook the food for the shortest time possible. If necessary, add cooking time until the food reaches the appropriate temperature.

•The quantity, denseness, and temperature of food will all determine the cooking time necessary. Check for doneness, and if necessary cook or reheat for additional time.

•Foods high in fat and sugar cook faster than foods with high water content.

•Foods similar in size and shape cook more evenly.

•When cooking large pieces of food, reduce the power level to allow for more even cooking.
