Correct use
~
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
Many factors will affect the overall
cooking time, including the size and
amount of food, its initial temperature,
changes to recipe and the shape and
size of cooking container.
Some foods may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking,
therefore when cooking or reheating
foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly
important that food is fully cooked
through (at temperatures of over 70 °C
for more than 10 minutes). If in doubt,
select a longer cooking or reheating
time.
~
It is important that the heat is
allowed to spread evenly throughout
the food being cooked.
This can be achieved by stirring and/or
turning the food, and by observing a
sufficiently long standing time, which
should be added to the time needed for
cooking, reheating or defrosting.
~
Always remember that times for
cooking, reheating and defrosting in a
microwave oven are usually
considerably shorter than with
traditional methods of food preparation.
Excessively long cooking times can
lead to food drying out and burning, or
could even cause it to catch fire.
There is also a danger of fire if
breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs, etc., are
dried in the microwave oven.
Always ensure that this type of
procedure is supervised.
