MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE

Food Characteristics

Size

Shape

Temperature of food

Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less heating time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to fire.

Bones in food conduct heat, making the food cook more quickly. Care must be taken so that the food is cooked evenly.

Food density will affect the amount of cooking time needed.

Light porous foods, such as cakes or bread, cook more quickly than heavy, dense foods, such as roasts and casseroles.

The number of microwaves in your oven remains the same regardless of how much food is being cooked. The cooking time must be increased as the amount of food placed in the oven increases.

e.g. Four potatoes will take longer to cook than two.

Small foods and small pieces cook faster than large ones, as microwaves can penetrate from all sides to the centre. For even cooking make all the pieces the same size.

Foods which are irregular in shape, such as chicken breasts or drumsticks, take longer to cook in the thicker parts. For even cooking, place the thickest parts to the outside of the dish where they will receive more energy. Round shapes cook more evenly than square shapes when microwave cooking.

The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed. Chilled foods will take longer to cook than food at room temperature. e.g. a cake made with chilled ingredients, (i.e. margarine) will take longer to cook than a cake made with ingredients at room temperature.

The temperature of the container is not a true indication of the temperature of the food or drink. Cut into foods with fillings, for example jam doughnuts, to release heat or steam.

Face & Hands: Always use oven gloves to remove food or cookware from the oven. Stand back when opening the oven door to allow heat or steam to disperse.When removing covers (such as cling film), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands.

Check the temperature of food and drink, stir before serving. Take special care when serving to babies, children or the elderly.The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption to avoid burns.
