GENERAL GUIDELINES

 

Food Suitable for Microwave Cooking

 

Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen vegetables,

 

fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard, soups, steamed puddings,

 

preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a microwave oven. Generally speaking, micro-

 

wave cooking is ideal for any food that would normally be prepared on a hob.

 

Covering During Cooking

 

Food should be covered during cooking, as the evaporated water rises as steam and contrib-

 

utes to cooking process. Food can be covered in different ways such as with a ceramic plate,

 

plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film.

 

Standing Times

 

After cooking, it is important to let food stand for recommended standing time to allow the

 

temperature to even out within the food.

COOKING GUIDE FOR FROZEN VEGETABLES

Use a suitable glass Pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum time (see table). Continue cooking to get the result you prefer. Stir twice during cooking and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after cooking. Keep covered during standing time.
