Microwave Cooking Principles; Utensils Guide - Morphy Richards 30CGR Instruction Manual

Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

Microwave cooking principles

1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest
areas towards outside of dish.
2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest
amount of time indicated and add more as
needed. Food severely overcooked can
smoke or ignite.
3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers
prevent spattering and help foods to cook
evenly.
4. Turn foods over once during microwaving
to speed cooking of such foods as chicken
and hamburgers. Large items like roasts
must be turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs
halfway through cooking both from top to
bottom and from the center of the dish to
the outside.

Utensils guide

1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil
is transparent to microwave, it allows
energy to pass through the container and
heat the food.
2. Microwave can not penetrate metal, so
metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim
should not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when
microwave cooking, as they may contain
small metal fragments which may cause
sparks and/or fires.
4. R o u n d / o v a l d i s h e s r a t h e r t h a n
square/oblong ones are recommend, as
food in corners tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be
used to prevent overcooking of exposed
areas. But be careful don't use too much
and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm)
between foil and cavity.
