MICROWAVING- INTRODUCTION

Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves and causes their molecules to vibrate. This creates heat by friction, in the same way your hands get warm when you rub them together.

The outer areas of food are heated by microwave energy and the remaining portions by conduction. It is important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure even heating. Where recommended, allow food to stand, this is not optional but is necessary to ensure thorough cooking. It is particularly important for dense food, such as joints of meat.

NOTES:

•Microwaves pass through non-metallic dishes and utensils and heat the food inside the dishes.

•Microwaves are reflected by metal.

•The oven is lined with metal and has a fine metallic mesh in the door to prevent microwave leakage.

•Metallic dishes are not suitable for microwaving.

•See SUITABLE COOKWARE, page 26-27.
