COOKING TIPS

The following factors may affect the cooking result:

FOOD ARRANGEMENT;
Place thicker areas towards the outside of the dish, the thinner part towards the centre and spread evenly. DO NOT overlap if possible.
COOKING DURATION;
Start cooking with a shorter time setting, evaluate after and extend as needed. Overcooking may result in smoke and burns.
COOKING FOOD EVENLY;
Food such as chicken or steak should be turned once during cooking. Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir it from the outside to centre of the dish once or twice during cooking.
ALLOW STANDING TIME;
After the cooking time has elapsed, leave the food in the microwave oven for an adequate length of time, this allows the food to complete its cooking cycle and cool down gradually.
WHETHER THE FOOD IS DONE;
The colour and hardness of the food will determine if it is done or not. These include;

• Steam comes out from all parts of food, not just the edges.
• Joints of poultry can be moved easily.
• Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood.
• Fish is opaque and can be easily sliced with a fork.

BROWNING DISH;
When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always place a heat- resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it, to prevent damage to the turntable and rotating ring.
MICROWAVE SAFE PLASTIC WRAP;
When cooking food with a high-fat content, DO NOT allow the plastic wrap to come into contact with food as it may melt.
MICROWAVE SAFE PLASTIC COOKWARE;
Some microwave-safe plastic cookware may not be suitable for cooking foods with a high fat and sugar content.
