MICROWAVE COOKING GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

The advantages of a microwave oven A microwave oven is most useful for its speed in cooking. Speedy cooking of meals can be very helpful in some busy families. Microwave cooking roughly takes about one third to one quarter of the conventional cooking time. Of course this varies according to the density, temperature and the amount of food being cooked.

Foods are cooked so quickly in a microwave oven that they can be cooked in their own juices, with less or no seasonings at all, thus retaining all their natural flavours.

A microwave oven saves energy because energy is only consumed during the actual cooking time. There is no preheating and no cooling down for a microwave oven, so no energy is consum- ed and wasted.

A microwave oven does not become hot during cooking; only the foods get hot. The kitchen remains coal always, and this means comfort to the cook.

Microwave cooking also means less washing-up. Foods can be cooked and served in the same container, as they do not get hot during cooking in a microwave oven. Spatters and spills do not burn on the oven walls, so it is easy to keep the oven nice and clean.

Do not worry if you forget to defrost the meat. The microwave oven can defrost frozen food in a matter of minutes. Cooking can then begin immediately.

Reheating of foods in a microwave oven is also another advantage for late comers in the family. Reheating of food will not spoil its appearance and flavour.
