MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE

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

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

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 32.)

•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.

WARNING:

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 jar/container 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 cooking.

rearrange

Always stir and rearrange from the outside towards the centre.

Stand

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

 

equally throughout the food.
