Arranging food

For best results, distribute food evenly on the plate. You can do this in several ways: l If you are cooking several items of the

same food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking.

l When cooking foods of uneven shapes or thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the smaller or thinner area of the food towards the center of the dish where it will be heated last.

l Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.

l When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the skin -this prevents cracking. Shield the tail and head of whole fish with small pieces of foil to prevent overcooking but ensure the foil does not touch the sides of the oven.

l Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing.

Using aluminum foil

Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you have purchased food which is prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, then refer to the instructions on the package. When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be longer because microwaves will only penetrate the top of the food.

If you use aluminum containers without package instructions, follow these guidelines: l Place container in a glass bowl and add

some water so that it covers the bottom of the container, not more than l/4 inch (6mm) high. This ensures even heating of the container bottom.

l Always remove the lid to avoid damage to the oven.

l Use only undamaged containers.

l Do not use containers taller than 3/ inch (19mm).

l Container must be half filled.

l To avoid arcing, there must be a mini- mum l/4 inch (6mm) between the aluminum container and the walls of the oven and also between two aluminum containers.

l Always place container on turntable.

l Reheating food in aluminum foil contain- ers usually takes up to double the time compared to reheating in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers. The time when food is ready will vary depending upon the type of container you use.

l Let food stand for 2-3 minutes after heating so that heat is spread evenly throughout container.

Cooking you should not do in

your microwave oven

l Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven or possible per- sonal injury.

l Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to maintain the high temperature required for safe sterilization.
