MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE

Microwaves cook food faster than conventional cooking. It is therefore essential that certain techniques are followed to ensure good results.

COOKING ADVICE NOTES:

•Always attend the oven when in use.

•Ensure that the utensils are suitable for use in a microwave oven. (See “Suitable Cookware” on page 20).

•Refer to the charts in the cookbook section for recommended cooking times and power levels.

•Do not place hot foods/utensils on a cold turntable or cold foods/utensils on a hot turntable.

Many of the following techniques are similar to those used in conventional cooking.

•Liquids and foods must not be heated in sealed containers or jars/containers with lids on, as pressure will build up inside and may cause the container/jar to explode.

•Only use microwave popcorn within the recommended packaging (follow the manufacturers instructions). Never use oil unless specified by the manufacturer and never cook for longer than instructed.

WARNING:

Follow instructions in the SHARP operation manual at all times.

If you exceed recommended cooking times and use power levels that are too high, food may overheat, burn and in extreme circumstances, catch fire and damage the oven.

Cooking Techniques

Arrange

Place the thickest parts of food towards the outside of the

 

dish. e.g. Chicken drumsticks.

 

Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will

 

receive more energy, so cook quicker, than those in the

 

centre.

Cover

Certain foods benefit from being covered during microwave cooking, follow

 

recommendations where given.

 

Use vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid.

Pierce

Foods with a shell, skin or membrane must be pierced in

 

several places before cooking or reheating as steam will

 

build up and may cause food to explode.

 

e.g. Potatoes, Fish, Chicken, Sausages.

 

NOTE: Eggs in their shells and hard / soft boiled eggs should not be

 

heated in the microwave oven as they may explode, even

 

after cooking has ended.

Stir, turn and

For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during

rearrange

cooking. Always stir and rearrange from the outside towards the centre.

Stand

Standing time is necessary after cooking as it enables the heat to disperse

 

equally throughout the food.
